Yes, it is possible, and you don't need Perl for it.
On Unixes look for cron. On Windows, you have System Tools -> Scheduled tasks. | [reply] |
In Unix, you can use crontab with something like: 0 20 * * fri /path/to/your/script.pl
In Win32, you can either have a script that sleeps "the correct amount of time" before activating, then it goes to sleep again, or you could roll your own service with Win32::Daemon (note: it's outside CPAN). I'd prefer a third way: swap the OS :)

Don't fool yourself.

The easiest way to do this would be not in the perl-script, but to start the script as a cron-job in unix or via the scheduler in Windows XP.
