Start an internet connection automatically

[Jean]

How Perl can start automatically my Internet connection ?

I want to start (let's say every hour) my internet connection, look
for new eMails and beep or alert the user that ther should be
something to read, and then disconnect...

Thank you very much,

Jean

What have you tried so far?

We can help with problems, but we don't deliver solutions to specification.

Operating system? Dialup, ISDN, DSL?

This is very operating system/environment specific. For example you could
get Perl to start up the Linux pppd deamon. But I'd probably use bash
instead.

Well, actually, some of us *do*, but only if you pay us.
