You're probably right. I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to (among other things) /usr/sfw/lib, where libexpat.so lives.

The bad news is that I've tried both a BEGIN block and setting in the crontab, but neither works.

I even did this in the crontab file: 

45 21 * * * LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib ; echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd b
+in; ./test.pl

and got this:

Your "cron" job on lauxastst01
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib ; echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd bin; ./test.p
+l

produced the following output:

/usr/sfw/lib
Can't load '/usr/local/perl/5.8.2/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/sun4-solaris/aut
+o/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so' for module XML::Parser::Expat: ld.so.1: 
+perl: fatal: libexpat.so.0
: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/perl/5.8.2/lib/
+5.8.2/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 229.

Sigh ... I'll keep trying stuff until it works.
