I think you are experiencing some of my headaches here. Why recreate a
fully functional and extensively tested utility?
My solution, when pressed, simply create an input to the utility and fire
up the utility.
That is, if you still want to use Perl for this, simply generate your
crontab file in using a Perl script, and with command ticks, file up cron
from within your Perl program.
Cron is cron and all it needs if a file and a kick start.
