I'm not sure what you mean by "link", but I think you just want to know how to send an email with perl? if so, check out "sendmail". It is very handy and I believe it is installed on most webservers, but I must say that it is very picky about syntax.

Does that help at all? I don't know how to answer your other question.

Good luck! Scott

I am also unsure of what you are wanting to do, but look into a cron job (unix/linux) or task (windows) if you want a perl script to be run automatically at a certain time.
