Basically I have a perl script that runs once, first thing every morning, gathering some stats (currently turned off due to problem). Crontab -l shows the following...

If you're getting as far as the perl script, put some print statements in it.
You might try doing an strace from cron:
00 6 * * * strace -f -oOutputFile /home/statsman/stats/run_stats.sh >/path/somefile 2>&1
