I usually put a line, such as below, taken from the crontab manpage, at the top of my crontab for a quick reference.
# MIN HOUR DAY MONTH DAYOFWEEK COMMAND
That means (I think) that since you have this command:
00 12 25 * 1 {command},
The script will execute at 12:00 on the 25th, and at 12:00 every Monday. I may be mistaken, but I think that's how it works...
If you only want it to run once, at a specific time/date, try the at command. Otherwise, some refining may be in order...
HTH, and please let me know if I'm mistaken! I've been awake for 30-some hours now, and my brain is fried!

NAME

SYNOPSIS
use Prima::Calendar;
my $cal = Prima::Calendar-> create(
useLocale => 1,
onChange => sub {
print $_[0]-> date_as_string, "
";
},
);
$cal-> date_from_time( localtime );
$cal-> month( 5);
DESCRIPTION
Provides interactive selection of date between 1900 and 2099 years. The main property, date, is a three-integer array, day, month, and
year, in the format of perl localtime ( see "localtime" in perlfunc ) - day can be in range from 1 to 31,month from 0 to 11, year from 0 to
199.
API
Events
Change
Called when the date property is changed.
Properties
date DAY, MONTH, YEAR
Accepts three integers in format of "localtime". DAY can be from 1 to 31, MONTH from 0 to 11, YEAR from 0 to 199.
Default value: today's date.
day INTEGER
Selects the day in month.
firstDayOfWeek INTEGER
Selects the first day of week, an integer between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday is the first day, 1 is Monday etc.
Default value: 0
month
Selects the month.
useLocale BOOLEAN
If 1, the locale-specific names of months and days of week are used. These are read by calling "POSIX::strftime". If invocation of
POSIX module fails, the property is automatically assigned to 0.
If 0, the English names of months and days of week are used.
Default value: 1
See also: date_as_string
year
Selects the year.
Methods
can_use_locale
Returns boolean value, whether the locale information can be retrieved by calling "strftime".
month2str MONTH
Returns MONTH name according to useLocale value.
make_months
Returns array of 12 month names according to useLocale value.
day_of_week DAY, MONTH, YEAR, [ USE_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK = 1 ]
Returns integer value, from 0 to 6, of the day of week on DAY, MONTH, YEAR date. If boolean USE_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK is set, the value of
"firstDayOfWeek" property is taken into the account, so 0 is a Sunday shifted forward by "firstDayOfWeek" days.
The switch from Julian to Gregorian calendar is ignored.
date_as_string [ DAY, MONTH, YEAR ]
Returns string representation of date on DAY, MONTH, YEAR according to useLocale property value.
date_from_time SEC, MIN, HOUR, M_DAY, MONTH, YEAR, ...
Copies date from "localtime" or "gmtime" result. This helper method allows the following syntax:
$calendar-> date_from_time( localtime( time));
