Can someone step me through the process of creating a Cron job in Linux?

You want to use the crontab:

1) crontab -e
2) You are in a vi like session now so type "i" to insert a new line.
3) Add a new line:

minute day week month year
5,20,25 * * * * /bin/command.pl

This will execute every hour at minutes 5, 20 and 25.
