setsid() is a UNIX thing executed by processes to detatch from the
controlling tty. You probably don't need it, but you should contact the
maintainer of Schedule::Cron to see if the module can be made
Win32-friendly. He or she might need to wrap setsid in an eval() or a test
for the Win32 platform. It's feedback like this that improves the quality of
modules, since the authors typically don't have access to each and every
platform.
As a workaround, you might be able to define a dummy setsid. At the bottom
of your script, put the following:
package POSIX;
sub setsid { }
