That is designed just for things like this and works well
and might be more secure than the Perl script.
Or you could put use rsync in your Perl script.
You will need to create a little binary to invoke the Perl script.
Then create an rd.d type script that takes a 'start' and 'stop'
put it in and run it with a 'start' parameter. Give the startup
script a 'stop' when you want to quite.
Look at the stuff in init.d, etc such as apachectl for hints.
You probably don't need anything as elaborate as that for
the start/stop script, but it is a good example.
