Perl Server

I wrote a perl script that works great from the Xterm (perl /path/script.pl) but when I try to schedule it as a cron job it gives me a Net.pm error (: protocol error (1) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Gimp/Net.pm line 66. (ERROR) protocol error (1) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Gimp/Net.pm line 66.
). It will run as a cron job if I manually start perl server from gimp. I included "use Gimp::Net" in the script but got the same results. Is there something else I need to include to start the perl server. This is an unatteded script that i want to start automatically when the system is booted.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Terry

Try to run it with -v, it will most probably tell you that no X-Server was found. You need either a valid DISPLAY under cron (e.g. using Xvfb), or, more realistically, run the perl-server permanently and let the script connect to it.
