You know, one way to find the answer to things like this is to try
them ...
Write a script that is known to fail ...
--------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
die "This program does nothing useful";
--------------------------------------------------
... put it into your crontab and see what happens.
Reading the man page for your system's cron will also be enlightening.

zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
sort them into the correct order.
