net ssh perl pukes when ...

perlknight has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

All, net ssh perl pukes out these error when run in cron:

Here is another thread along the same lines as your question, that should provide some insight into your problem, specifically Abigail-II's response. (here is another thread that might prove useful, super search turned up a lot more things so I would go there next if neither of these threads answers your question.) -enlil	[reply]

cron jobs usually run with a limited environment. Try running `perl -e'print "$_ => $ENV{$_}\n" foreach sort keys %ENV' > cron.out` [download] from the crontab, and run the same command from the command line. (with a different output file, of course) I'm betting the difference between the 2 environments will explain your problem. -- Mike	[reply] [d/l]

perlknight, do you have your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable set correctly? -- vek --	[reply] [d/l]

This works, I don't know why setting this value to /usr/local/lib works, but it works. Much thanks.	[reply]

~~Try reinstalling Digest::MD5.~~ (/me misread the question) Scratch that. Make sure that cron has access to the shared libs (i.e., it isn't running in a chroot jail, or the permissions are wrong) and that it is using the right version of the perl interpreter.	[reply]

perl permission looks ok: `-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15677 Apr 16 18:24 /usr/lib/perl5 +/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14892 Mar 27 2002 /usr/lib/perl5 +/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.so` [download] So, how do I check if cron has access to the shared libs? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l]
