I can get my crontab to work...I can my perl script to work in shell and crontab until I add this line,
system("/usr/bin/feh --bg-center /home/user/Pictures/rotate/1.jpg");
It works fine in shell, but produces no results when called by cron...is there a special way I have to help cron call this program for my perl script to be called and work correcly?
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.

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).

are good places to start.
