Hi, Liora,

Cron runs as the SYSTEM user.  Make sure you have enough permissions for
SYSTEM to access the /usr/lib/perl5/... hierarchy.  You may also have a
mount issue, where the required mounts are missing for the SYSTEM user
(e.g., if you initially installed Cygwin for "Just me").

In fact, you should have read and followed the Cygwin problem reporting
guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the part that
asks you to attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your machine -- that
output would have given us the answer to at least the mount question.
	Igor
