Re: Crontab error!

Somewhere in your code you have a subroutine called main::head. It is defined as taking one argument (a scalar). Later on, it's being called without any arguments. I could give more details if I could see the code.

Here's the script. Thx! :)

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Environment Variables
use LWP::Simple; 
use CGI qw/:standard :netscape :html3/;

$sonuc="/home/usr254/html/sa/filmler/HeadLine.tlt";

&toplasa1;
exit;

sub toplasa1 {

$elle1= get("http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/FILM_front.asp"); 

# Oncesini sil
    $elle1=~ s/^.*<!---Insert_Tertiary_Stories--->//s; 
# Sonrasini sil

        open(PAGE,">$sonuc") || die("Error $! opening file");
        print PAGE $elle1; 
        close(PAGE);
        
}

Both LWP::Simple and CGI try to export a function called head and they have different prototypes. This can lead to badness - as you've seen.

However, you don't actually use either of these subroutines, so you just need to stop importing them (or, at least, one of them). Quickest fix is to change the use LWP::Simple line to:

use LWP::Simple 'get';

Or change   use CGI qw/:standard :netscape :html3/; to   #use CGI qw/:standard :netscape :html3/; or remove that line entirely, since the script doesn't really use anything from CGI.pm

This is the crontab that runs the scipt above:
