Why is cron+cygwin not working with my perl script?

I have a perl script that just loads some modules an create a log file
(log.txt). Just for testing
c:\directory\script.pl

I have created a scritp BAT with the following content:

echo "teste1" > c:/directory\log1
cd c:\directory
c:\perl\bin\perl c:\directory\script.pl
echo "teste2" > c:/directory\log2

I have the following crontab:
* * * * * c:\\directory\\script.BAT

------------ Result -----------
log1 and log2 are created. Which means the cron is fine and the BAT
script is fine.
log.txt, from perl script.pl has not created a log.txt file. Why
?????????

If everything works except script.pl, why did you not include that?
In real Unix systems, crontab problems are often the result of
environment variables that are not set by cron. Could this be your
problem?
