Sorry, maybe I didn't make that quite clear. Yes, it is a goal. For
example, to take an example from the ACS, a user can add or remove
parking warnings from the web site. I could write a file somewhere and
have another process in cron process that file every once in a while,
but I would like direct and immediate feedback/effect.
This could be simply an Apache::Cron module or something like that, to
ease the task of add/modifying/removing cron jobs from mod_perl, I
agree.
