A few questions to try to clarify such an open-ended issue:-
- What sort of output/errors do you get?
- What happens when you try to schedule a script with crontab -e?
- Is anything meaningful written in /var/adm/cron/log?
- Has your server clock changed recently?
- Is the server process cron running? Output from ps -ef|grep cron will help you.
- Which user are you trying to schedule with?
- What entries are you trying to define in the schedule?
- Have you used full path commands or set up the PATH variable in your script?
- Is the account permitted to run scheduled work?
Sorry it's such a long list and it's probably not an exhaustive list, but it might provide some answers.

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells
SYNOPSIS
use CPANPLUS::Shell; # load the shell indicated by your
# config -- defaults to
# CPANPLUS::Shell::Default
use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic] # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;
my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
my $name = $ui->which; # Find out what shell you loaded

DESCRIPTION
This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"

Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
