A couple of things to consider.

First, the ~/.profile is not the only file sourced during an interactive login. Depending on the shell there are also files located in /etc/ that are sourced. So, you may still not have the entire environment.

Second, you really don't need the entire profile, but finding exactly what you do need may be a problem. Remember cron is not using a 'login' environment, so somethings may even be skipped when spawning a shell. I would start with setting a secure PATH or even hard-coding the full paths in your shell wrapper. You can add a call to 'env' at the top of your wrapper and redirect the output to a file. Then when you run it manually and via cron, you can see the differences in the environment. You obviously found that the perl binary was not in your path.

Since the module you mention is C based, there is a good chance that a necessary library or binary dependency is not available in your environment when running via cron. You may need to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH. You can execute perl with the '-V' option to see how the binary was compiled. This may give you a clue on what libraries and paths are needed. Another thing to look at is using 'ldd' against any binaries to see their library dependencies.

I hope this helps.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
