I need to send an email out to our forum digest readers from a nightly scheduled task.

I would like to be able to trigger, check on, and stop the process from a webpage script, but the schedule needs to work when no one is visiting the site, so it needs to be able to sleep in the background reliably.

I am developing on an XP workstation running Apache/1.3.27, ActivePerl 5.8.0.806

The App moves to a unix server running Apache 1.3.26 and at least the same version of perl

We have ftp access, cgi-bin etc, but I doubt we can install additional CPAN modules.


I am at a loss at this time of how to go about tackling this problem, at least in a good way. If anyone can suggest a good starting point, I would very much appreciate it.


thanks!
