Hi,

I am writing a script that is supposed to retrieve all the data from a msql database and send it off via e - mail at exactly 11:00 PM. So far I can accomplish getting the data from the database and mailing it off. However, I do not have a clue on how to accomplish the task at 11:00 PM. Is there some kind of event in perl to detect a specific time?

Thanks,
Mike
