6. Setting up a recurring script (optional)

We suggest setting up the Perl Sitemap Generator to run as often as your content is changed, to a maximum frequency of once per hour.

Webmasters with a UNIX web server may consider setting this up as a cron job.

Webmasters using other platforms should contact their system administrator for help in configuring recurring scripts. You may also benefit from peer advice in the Google Sitemaps Group on Google Groups.

You can use an HTTP request to let Google know about changes to your Sitemap. However, please make sure that you log in to Google webmaster tools with your Google Account once to manually add your Sitemap to your Google webmaster tools account.
