   Dan's suggestion was...incomplete; you need to _redirect_ the error
message and normal output to /dev/null, like:

0 * * * * command.pl >/dev/null 2>&1

   If you _only_ want to supress error messages, use:

0 * * * * command.pl 2>/dev/null

   This isn't as tough as it looks; file descriptor 1 is stdout, and file
descriptor 2 is stderr. So ">/dev/null 2>&1" means, "send (>) stdout (the
normal output of the command; we don't need to reference 1 here) to
/dev/null, and while you're at it, send (>) stderr (error messages, 2) to the
same place you send stdout (&1, now set to /dev/null)."
