cron issues with perl script

[bashy]

Hi

I am having issues setting up cron to run a perl script
I am using the cron option in DA and not the command line
I keep getting

WU-forecast.pl V1.00 - 27-Feb-2007
..unable to open usr/home/*****/domains/bashys-place.com/weather/cranfield/forecast-5day.htm: No such file or directory

I have tried 3 diferent command as below

/home/*****/public_html/weather/cranfield/WU-forecast.pl

/usr/local/bin/perl -f /home/*****/public_html/weather/cranfield/WU-forecast.pl

/usr/bin/perl /home/*****/public_html/weather/cranfield/WU-forecast.pl

None of the above work, can anyone advise a numpty please?

looks like a type error in your script. should be /usr/home/***/etc.. not usr/home. It's looking for that in the relative (current/working) directory, not absolutely.

Cheers for the reply Dan
It was also missing the public_html part as well, thanks again
