Re: Getting Moose &/or Net::Twitter to work from cron.

... well, Net::Twitter::Lite works well enough for my current purposes. I'll keep tinkering with this, though, for my own edification. Thank you for your help. :)

Be sure to pay attention to the user cron is running as. I ran into similarly bizarre behavior with a CGI I wrote when I realized my "at" command, executed from within it, was running as "nobody" and didn't have access to what it needed. Not the same but similar. You could also try spawning a bash shell and running it from within that, instead of directly, ie. bash myperlscript.pl instead of just: myperlscript.pl Also check /var/log/cron for errors.	[reply]
