Error : /usr/bin/env: No such file or directory Seems self explanatory Do you have a /usr/bin/env program? When your program is run from cron, it doesn't have the same %ENV as when you run it It appears in your case, cron jobs might also confined in a chroot jail, so your shebang of `#!/usr/bin/env perl ..` doesn't work So, either use the correct path to env, or the full path to perl, or learn more about configuring cron, or get your admin to help...
