Hi, ZHAO, If your system is Unix or similar, you can use cron (See cron). If Windows, you can use task manager

And the dir keeps getting larger(downloading files from website), I need those files older than 1 week all gone WITHOUT having to type ./do_it.pl on unix command line. Any idea on this? It seems pretty unreasonle to me, even. Let me know if this is something impossible. thank you. bing -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
