Run a server side PERL script automatically

[NateBro]

is there a way to set a perl script to run automatically on a server? i want my web site to search, and index words/phrases, and different things. but i want it to run that script everyday at the same time. do i have to manually run the script via a browser, or is there another way?

thanks for your time, and any information would be much appreciated

Setup a cron job. Specifically a cron.daily job.

Google it =)

... Assuming you are on *nix. Otherwise, you can use the Windows scheduler.
