[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Problems running under cron

[Henry B. <Hen...@in...>]

Hello all,

I have an application that runs fine from the command line, but produces the 
following error when run under cron:

	input must be 8 bytes long 
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/C
rypt/DES.pm line 57

This is being run under:
	SUSE Linux version 2.6.16.27-0.6-smp
	perl v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
	$Net::SFTP::VERSION: 0.10
	$Net::SSH::Perl::VERSION: 1.30

The code is fairly simple:

sub deliver {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($host,$directory,%cred) = $self->parse_address;
    my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %cred);
    my $path = $directory . $self->file_name;
    my $flags = SSH2_FXF_WRITE | SSH2_FXF_CREAT | SSH2_FXF_TRUNC;
    my $handle = $sftp->do_open($path, $flags);
    $sftp->do_write($handle,0,$self->payload);
    $sftp->do_close($handle);
    # return value not used
}

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Regards,
Henry
