exec ok in Perl but not as a cron

[John]

Hi

exec '/home/john/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin/main.pl automatic';
works OK in Perl program

The following in a crontab:
10 * * * * /home/john/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin/main.pl automatic

produces:-
Can't locate Library.pm in @INC

main.pl begins:-

use lib '../';
use strict;
use warnings;
use Library; my $library=new Library;

Any ideas?

Here's your problem. cron isn't running the script from the directory
you expect. Put an absolute path there instead.

Hi

Many thanks. Done that and it is working from cron.
