in reply to Perl Script Not Working With Crontab

Shouldn't one of the *'s be a number so cron knows when to run it? For example: 
10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/perl /home/monkfan/MyPerl/cron.pl

[download]

To run it at 10 past each hour

I was wrong, sorry.

Have you looked in your home directory? That's where my cron places the file with code equivalent to yours.

update: crontab entry was wrong

    No. * * * * * is legal - it means run the program every minute of every hour of every day.
