[Koha] cleanup_database.pl

[Christopher Curry]

Greg,

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.

Cheers,
