time intervals

Hi, everyone!

I've written a Perl script which captures ARP packets and searches for NetBIOS computer names for each IP address it captures.
But now, I'd like it to perform NetBIOS search every 15 minutes.
So, I guess the idea is something like this (not the actual code):

if localtime = localtime+15 min do NetBIOS search

But I can't find anywhere on the Net how to add minutes to localtime.

Please help!

Tnx.
