perl crontab entry not working

Hi

I have a perl script which used 'glance' command to return all the processes with the thread count.

It is working fine when it is executed as a command, but as a crontab entry, the perl script is not getting executed.

thdcnt.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $cmd=`glance -bootup -adviser_only -syntax xxx/somefile -j 0 -iterations 0 2>/dev/null | grep -v "glance" | grep -v "grep" > xxx.log`;

Either source your profile in your script or fully qualify the path to the glance command. If neither of those work, redirect STDERR to a file instead of /dev/null and post any error messages in here.
