Actually, there is a module, Win32::TaskScheduler that can set the user to
run under and all of those nifty little things that the Task Scheduler GUI
lets you do. If you can't find it on CPAN, look on sourceforge.net.

If you can write a Perl script to detect whether the program is running,
then to start it if it isn't, then you can run the Perl script in a
loop,
using the 'sleep()' function to make it run every (up to you) seconds.
Just be aware that, if you use Task Scheduler in Windows, you will need
to
schedule the job, then go into the GUI Task Scheduler interface, and
tell
the script to "run as" a user with rights to do whatever it is you want
to
do. You will need to enter a password for that user. Otherwise, when
the
Task Scheduler launches the task, it will run as some kind of "system
user", who has basically no rights. The task does NOT inherit the
rights
of the user who scheduled the task.
