Hope this will help you.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

sub check_files
{
        my $dirname = "/tmp";
        opendir(my $dh, $dirname) or die "Not a directory";
        if( scalar(grep { $_ ne "." && $_ ne ".." } readdir($dh)) > 0 )
           {
                print "Core functionality \n";
                exit;
           } else {
              sleep 15;
           }
}


my @datetime=localtime(time);
my $hr=@datetime[2];
my $wday=@datetime[6];

if ( $wday eq 1 )
{
        while ( $hr lt 9 )
        {
                check_files()
        }
}

exit;

	 To specify the date a particular entry should be made live you
	must add another pseudo-header to your blog entry files, as follows:

	15th April 2008, and not before.
