I use a lot of C-shell and Perl scripts that are run by the crontab
command (under Linux).
I have my path variables set up in my .cshrc file. Thus when I run a
perl script from the
command line (c-shell) I can inherit these path variables using the
$ENV{C-SHELL ENV VARIABLE NAME}
construct.

The problem is that when I run a perl program as a cronjob, it is not
executing within a c-shell, and
so the C-shell environment variables are not inherited. How can I get
around this problem?

I have tried having a simple c-shell wrapper which is a run as a
cronjob, and this wrapper then
calls my Perl program. But this does not work (I don't understand why) -
C-shell environment
variables are still not inherited by my Perl script.

Any help gratefully appreciated,
