Hi,
I did the following to start the server.
cygrunsrv -S cron

And I see it running:
admin AT TMLA-SRAMACHAND /tmp
$ ps -ef|grep cron
  SYSTEM    2084    2068   ?  13:49:45 /usr/sbin/cron

Also tried checking the below date example in crontab. Still not running.

Stopped and started again, but still not working. Hoping for your help.
The cron version I'm running is 3.0.1-7. 

Thank you,
Smithesh.

After installing the service (using the '-I' option), you need to start
the service using the '-S' option.

Debug one problem at a time.  Instead of trying to get your perl script
to work via 'cron', try to get the 'date' command to work, for example:

   * * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt

Once you have that working, you can work on the perl script problem.
