According to your Perl script that prints @INC, you appear to be using local::lib, but those paths (/home/jrayner/perl5/lib/perl5/...) don't appear in the error message, so those two runs of perl are different. Since your script appears to be called ~/CRON/email-reminder-2.0.pl, note that cron does not provide a full environment to the code it runs, so if you want perl scripts run from cron to pick up on the modules you've installed in a nonstandard location, one way to do that is to explicitly set the PERL5LIB environment variable in your crontab file. I'd also recommend always using absolute pathnames for everything in your crontab, including the perl binary.

Or, you could point PERL5LIB at /usr/local/share/perl5/, as hippo pointed out. I'm a little confused as to how the module ended up there though - your standard @INC paths contains /usr/local/share/perl5/5.30, so going by that the module should have been installed to /usr/local/share/perl5/5.30/Mail/Mailer.pm. Are you using the standard installation procedures for the modules (the system package manager, or e.g. cpanm) or are you doing something custom?
