[cobalt-users] Crontab Perl

["Troy Arnold" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A client has a perl file they want to run at 8:00 am every morning. I have
setup a crontab under the user and have verified it is functioning. However
when the crontab attempts to run the perl (.pl) file it errors out. If I run
it manually (either as the user or as root)... perl thefile.pl it runs fine
without erroring (or so I am told).

crontab file (ie schedule.cron)...
00 08 * * *    perl /path/to/schedule.cron

the error in the cron log is...
Can't locate BPE.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .)
at /path/to/perlfile/file.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/path/to/perlfile/file.pl line 6.

At line 6 is simply a call to the BPE.pm which does not error when the perl
file is run manually.

I have just changed the crontab to the following to see if it helps...
00 08 * * *    /usr/bin/perl /path/to/schedule.cron
however I doubt it since it is attempting to run the perl file.

Any ideas or advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Troy Arnold
