You can run a perl script from a cron job just like any other program.  As the
user whose home directory the file is in:

crontab -e

and in the file put
0,30 * * * * ~/doc/id.pl

Note that the /home/user part can be replaced with ~ just like in the shell
since the configuration is in that user's crontab.  You actually could even take
the ~/ out altogether, since cron starts in the home directory of the user whose
crontab it runs.
