Construct perpendicular lines

I have a polyline and want to construct lines perpendicular to the polyline with a set spacing (make a line every n-meters). The polyline in question is not a straight line but it should still be possible to generate a line that crosses the polyline at a right angle. I tried a work-around using 'construct parallel' and 'construct points' but it did not work as I had hoped. Am using 10.1.

If none of the above helps, you may be interested in this post, which uses arcpy geometries to create perpendicular lines at a set interval.
