Perl script not running from cron

[paulorv]

Hello. I have wrote a simple perl script (see below) that executes a RAID status command on a remote machine over and emails the output of the command to me. I can run the script locally and see the command output in my email body, but if I create a cron job the email message body is blank. I assume it's something like cron not having permissions to execute the command within the script. I have the script set to -rwxr-xr-x (755) and owner is root so cron should be able to run everything. Please advise guys. Thanks!

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $cmd = `ssh -l root 10.0.0.1 tw_cli /c4 show`;

  use Mail::Sendmail;

  %mail = ( To      => 'me',
            From    => 'raidstatus',
            Subject => "Raid Status",
            Message => "$cmd"
           );

  sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

When a script runs fine locally but not in cron it indicates a difference in environments. Remember that cron does NOT run you login profile script(s) before running the script. Often PATH is the problem. When writing a script that is to be run in cron specify the full path for the commands.

Instead of:

ssh

it should be:

/path/to/ssh
