Subject: Script runs fine alone but not when called by cron (EPIPE)

Hey, I'm still learning ruby (first week) and I'm having problem with a
script that sends an e-mail.
The script (~/teste_email.rb) runs fine when I call it, but raises and
exception when ran as a cron task.

This is the stack trace:
----------

I got send_gmail.rb from this website:
http://codingfrenzy.alexpmay.com/2007/12/sending-gmail-from-standalone-ruby.html

Why does it run fine when I call it myself and how do I make it run ok
from cron?

Thanks in advance
