I just realized we have a cron FAQ <edit> FAQ section. (seriously, I didn't know Smilie).

In general, one of the most common mistakes when using cron is understanding the limited environment in which a cron job runs.

Hmm. Would have expected a Pearl script to have file extension ".pl".

We need a mother script in unix Shell to set all the environment variables such as "ORACLE_HOME" and "DBI". There will be more for Oracle than just ORACLE_HOME.

It would help to know the account which is running this script, the normal contents of ".profiile" for that account, the normal respones to "set", and anything else which might affect the environment before running the script from a command prompt.

The exact cron username and crontab line will be helpful after dealing with the main issue (environment).
