ah, then you should start the debugging there.  add a "set -x" to the
top of the shell script to get verbose output of every command that
runs.  i bet you see that some variable is not being set as expected
or some 'setup' part of things is failing and causing the script to
"finish" early, before calling the perl script.

useful manually as well as via cron (as long as your cron daemon mails
output from programs to you instead of discarding them to /dev/null or
similar).
