Perl script works, but not through CRON

I have a perl script (which syncs delicious with wp) that:

  • executed through the shell but
  • doesn't start via cron (and I don't get an error message)

The only thing I can think of is that it does not read the configuration file correctly, but ... it is determined through the full path (I think).

I read my configuration file as:

my $config = Config::Simple->import_from('/home/12345/data/scripts/delicious/wpds.ini',
   \my %config);

(I accept on mediatemple)

Does anyone have a key?

update 1 : HERE - full code: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-23-compatible-wordpress-delicious-daily-synchronization-script/trunk/ (but I added the path as indicated above to the file location configuration as a difference)

After that, my cron jobs start with an error.

 If the perl script runs fine manually, but not from crontab, then
 there is some environment path needed by the some package that is not
 getting through `cron`. Run your command as follows:
 suppose your cron entry like:

* 13 * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/username/public_html/cron.pl >/dev/null 2>&1

 env - /home/username/public_html/cron.pl

 The output will show you the missing package. export that package path in
 $PATH variables
