Examples of cPanel crontab commands needed

[sallam]

Hi

Is there any thread or tutorial to show examples of the commands we need to type for different cPanel crontab jobs?
I always find it very hard to locate such examples on the web. For example, I want to run a .pl CGI script, which backs up my files which are stored in my account in one server, and then FTP them to another account in another server. I know how to schedule the crontab and all, but I failed to type a correct command to just run that script. Any examples please on how to type such commands?
