Output from a cron script is emailed to the user, unless otherwise redirected. IIRC, local mail delivery isn't enabled by default, so any errors generated by your script are probably getting lost in the > ether.
Try redirecting both stdout & stderr to a file, like this:
5 * * * * /Users/robin/cron.pl > /tmp/cronout.txt 2>&1
Note the lack of quotation marks - In the tests I ran, cron would silently refuse to run my script if I quoted it. That's probably what's happening in your case.
