在线在Perl中运行代码一段时间-有可能吗？

Question

As the title suggests, I'm looking for an online Perl executor. Yes, I know http://codepad.org/ and http://ideone.com/ can execute Perl scripts online, but I'm looking for something different, so please let me tell you exactly what I'm doing:

I wish to retrieve information from a website say, every 10 or 15 minutes. The information is plain text, and not very big in size. The problem is, that I want to do that for a long period of time, and not always can I leave the computer open for it to run. So what I thought about, is that maybe such a service exists, to which you enter a code, and it starts executing it, while simultaneously printing the current result. I will be given a unique address, and every time I visit it I will see the program's progress.

Does such a thing exists? How can I do what I wish to do?

Thank you in advance.
