I don't know whether you're facing the same problem I face when I write
a shell script that will be run by cron, but it's worth a look. Because
cron doesn't execute my .profile, the Oracle environment does not get
set and so it can't find the tnsnames.ora to resolve the DB1 alias.
Put a couple of debug print statements in your perl script to see if
ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set prior to your sqlplus command. You
might also need to set SQLPATH for perl to find your oracle.sql file.
