7 Sometimes when you write a perl script you have to call an external command.
8 That's ok if it's a private script or if you know for sure it will run on a
9 single architecture.
10
11 But if want to distribute the script or you work on a multi-architecture
12 environment you can't simply call to the external command and expect it
13 will work just fine. That only happens in the movies.
14
15 This module privides an OS independent interface to the Unix 'at' command
16 and it will map the calls to real (and OS dependent) commands. It has been
17 configured and tested for:
18
19 Solaris 2.9
20 HPUX 11.00
21 Digital Unix 5.1
22 Digital Unix 4.0
23 Linux (RedHat 7.3)
24
25 Not tested but it should work on:
26 HPUX 10.20
27 SunOs 4.1.4
28 AIX
29 Dynix/ptx
30 FreeBSD
31 OpenBSD
32 Solaris 2.10
33 Linux
34 NetBSD
35 DragonFly BSD
36
37 You can configure a new OS very easily (read the end of the At.pm module),
38 and the mechanism used could be used for configuring and adapting other
39 OS dependent commands. Please, feel free to send e-mail to
40 "jose AT rodriguez.jp" to discuss this matter, configure Schedule::At for
41 more Operating Systems or report bugs.
