Maybe a way to cheat the rules

Are you familiar with PC Windows?
Read up on scheduling tasks (accessories, system tools, scheduled tasks)
[note, some versions of windows might be a bit different to get there]

Create a scheduled task to run some 1.bat file
In normal operation, this 1.bat file will do no work

Now, on unix, create a text file of your 1.bat file to run on Windows
ftp it to your PC
Now, at the next scheduled execution, it will run.

Some things to think about:
may want to create a 2.bat
have the last line of 1.bat call 2.bat
but, the 2.bat file deletes the 1.bat file you just moved and ran once
AND, makes the 1.bat into its do-nothing original format

Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf(3perl)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf(3perl)

NAME
Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf - let Perldoc render Pod as RTF SYNOPSIS
perldoc -o rtf Some::Modulename DESCRIPTION
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Simple::RTF as a formatter class. This is actually a Pod::Simple::RTF subclass, and inherits all its options. You have to have Pod::Simple::RTF installed (from the Pod::Simple dist), or this module won't work. If Perldoc is running under MSWin and uses this class as a formatter, the output will be opened with write.exe or whatever program is specified in the environment variable "RTFREADER". For example, to specify that RTF files should be opened the same as they are when you double-click them, you would do "set RTFREADER=start.exe" in your autoexec.bat. Handy tip: put "set PERLDOC=-ortf" in your autoexec.bat and that will set this class as the default formatter to run when you do "perldoc whatever". SEE ALSO
