Re^2: Perl Module Not Working In Crontabby Anonymous Monk |

basically the Perl module Archive::Extract works manually but will not work via crontab - :D "does not work" is not diagnostic :) turn on debugging, all things have debugging, even crontab $Archive::Extract::DEBUG = 1; Start reading these to see a typical crontab story :) The problem is usually basic path managment. A relative path to the program, wrong path to perl on shebang, an assumed Cwd, wrong module path ( %INC ) or other %ENV , wrong permissions, not checking for errors, not reading error messages, wrong path again :)
