in thread Perl CGI Environment Variable

Maybe the cron-process is running as another user who doesn't have a HOME-environment variable set and your script "inherits" its environment (just guessing here as I have no knowledge of Sun/Solaris).

Did you try checking whether the cron-process has access to the Home-environment variable?
