[ao16aprs] perlAPRS

I've read a few of the recent postings about the lone sailor
/camper overdue and lost.  Seems to me that perlAPRS could come into play 
here.  An aprs equiped person could register at some server on the aprs 
network or on the internet ( like filing a flight plan)  This reqistration 
could then be downloaded to an APRS server running perlAPRS.  When the 
person didn't arrive at t his or her destinatio within a certain amount of 
time after their eta,  perlAPRS could send out a message to the appropiate 
authorities.  The camper/sailor could also send a short message via aprs if 
they knew they where going to be late and wanted to update thier "plan".

This way,  no one has to sit at a computer screen 24/7 waiting for  
distress call.

Is something like this do-able?
