The way I would probably do this, without a gui, is to read the file, figure out what time to go off, convert it to seconds and sleep until then. But I can't do that because the main gui loop is always running waiting for an event, correct? How would I do a periodic check on the alarm time, and not interfere with the main gui loop, can these be reconciled?
Take a look at the Win32::GUI::Timer control. It can be set to trigger an event every n milliseconds(?) in which you can do your stuff.
