Hi,
Just a short note to say thank you to the folks that answered someone else's question on why a Perl script failed to run via cron, but ran under the users environment...

I did a search, found the answer to the other fellows question, (use of relative directories), changed my directories to absolute, and all works now... So... THANK YOU!

    It's spectacular when someone comes back just to give their appreciation. Kudos.

      Agreed. The world is in desperate need of more people who show genuine gratitude.

    In case others are wondering (as I was) about the node the OP references: I believe it is this one:

    Perl Script works when i run in terminal, not via cron (April 01 , 2019)
