Thanks for the tips! I ended up adding this: -I/var/www/html/bugztest/ to this: #!/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl i.e. !/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl -w -I/var/www/html/bugztest/ in the perl files that I wanted to run with crontab. A very cut and paste solution, not really sure exactly what its doing, but it worked! Thanks again, goblinfart
