this doesn't seem to work. i have created a simple test script: 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

foreach (keys %ENV) {
        print "[$_] $ENV{$_}\n";
}

[download]

next i created a .profile file with some oracle environment variables in it.

when i insert the following line in cron: 

* * * * * source /opt/home/u_huiar1/.profile;/opt/home/u_huiar1/perl/c
+ron.pl 1>> /opt/home/u_huiar1/perl/output 2>&1

[download]

the file 'output' contains the following lines: 

[LOGNAME] u_huiar1
[PATH] /usr/bin:
[SHELL] /usr/bin/sh
[HOME] /home/u_huiar1
[TZ] MET

[download]

somehow it does not have the oracle environment variables in its environment.
