Use dbms_jobs.

Make sure you set the init.ora parameters:

job_queue_interval= 60
job_queue_processes = 1

the first one checks how often the queue is checked (every 60 seconds with the above) and how many queues there are defined (how many submitted blocks can execute concurrently -- 1 in the above).

Then, you can use dbms_job.submit to submit and schedule the job. For example, to get something to run everyday at midnight you would:

declare

    l_job number;
begin

    dbms_job.submit( job => l_job,

                     what => 'YOUR_CODE_HERE;', 
                     next_date => trunc(sysdate)+1,
                     interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1' );

    commit;
end;
/

That will schedule your job to initially run at midnight today and then every subsequent midnight.
