Binary package “libschedule-cron-perl” in ubuntu trusty
Simple but complete cron like scheduler
This perl module can be used for periodically executing perl
subroutines. The dates and parameters for the subroutines to be
called are specified with a format known as crontab entry (see
manpage crontab(5) or documentation of Schedule::Cron).
.
The philosophy behind Schedule::Cron is to call subroutines
periodically from within one single Perl program instead of letting
cron trigger several (possibly different) Perl scripts. Everything
under one roof. Furthermore Schedule::Cron provides mechanism to
create crontab entries dynamically, which isn't that easy with cron.
