That is the way cron works. It has a VERY limited environment.

You don't have to do it that way.

Use an absolute (full) path for every file like
'c:/windows/system/somefile.dat' on Windows or
'/usr/local/share/somefile.dat' on Unix. If you need environment
variables then set then up through the %ENV hash like $ENV{PATH} =
'/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin'.
