 Set correct timezone. Maybe in config?
+Use system available perl modules to avoid local cpan usage.
 Some sort of matching against spam domain list?

+# Cron usage
+
+If any of the perl requirements are not installed globally or with the system package manager,
+make sure to export the custom lib path.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+
+PATH="/home/user/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;
+PERL5LIB="/home/user/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"; export PERL5LIB;
+
+cd /home/user/aranea/crawler
+./aranea-runner
+
+```
+
+The `PERL5LIB` can be found in the user `.bashrc` if cpan is used.
