with & without cron

Hi everybody!
I wrote short perl script - it runs perfectly directly from shell, but it fails if it runs fron cron.

Any big basic mistake i did?

I solved my problem - I add to crontab some variables - everything OK

put variables envirinment inside the script.
.profile.

Rule of crontab is you have to specify path everywhere or use PATH environment (export PATH=/...).

Another way is to to the directory
where you are having the action take place.

Hi mighty Josef,

I guess some variables are missing in your script, so put them in your .profile OR into the script, OR directly in crontab
