Probably not a perl problem but either a sudo permission problem or an environment variable problem.
- What account is kicking off the crontab? A users or roots? If a user, does that user have sudo permissions -- if it's roots crontab, you don't need to sudo at all.
- There may be environment variables (JAVA_HOME and PATH come to mind) that are set when you kick off from the command line but are not present in the cron environment. Tomcat (catalina.sh) will invoke the setenv.sh script in order to set environment variables. By default that script is either blank or not there. Just create it and and your needed env settings there.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
