Thanks for the point in the right direction. I totally forgot about
the ENV variables. That will probably take care of it and it explains
why the script didn't run. I wish I could have seen the error message
about not being about to find the perl modules. I would have
recognized it.<br>

Your crontab example doesn't show you setting the environmental
variables that may be needed (PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF). See the examples
from the web page below and modify the paths as needed for your system.
You likely have these variables specified for your shell (so running
the same command from the shell works), but cron needs these values
too.

Also, this may not apply to your OS, but whenever I have cron issues on
FreeBSD, ensuring that absolute paths are specified can help. So I'd
personally use "/usr/bin/perl" as the command, not just "perl", or even
skip that entirely and let the system figure it out from the specified
script's #! line (again, YMMV with OS flavor).
