When you specified the output file, did you use an absolute or relative path? Alternately, do you call any binaries from your perl script by a relative path? One common problem I've seen is that people make assumptions on what the current working directory or the PATH statements are for cron. Try /home/yourname/filename instead of filename for example. -- Gregory Boyce <gboyce at badbelly.com>
