I wasn't able to get any of the above suggestions to work, but did arrive at my own solution.

I had a Magento site on a dedicated server which I moved to a Cpanel shared web host (VentraIP) - and could not get the cron working. I was seeing "PHP Notice: Undefined index: SCRIPT_FILENAME" and "PHP Notice: Undefined index: SCRIPT_NAME" errors in the error_log. I ended up modifying the cron.php (renamed to cron_for_cpanel.php) to be as follows:

chdir(dirname(__FILE__));

require 'app/bootstrap.php';
require 'app/Mage.php';

if (!Mage::isInstalled()) {
    echo "Application is not installed yet, please complete install wizard first.";
    exit;
}

Mage::app('admin')->setUseSessionInUrl(false);

umask(0);

try {    
    Mage::getConfig()->init()->loadEventObservers('crontab');
    Mage::app()->addEventArea('crontab');

    Mage::dispatchEvent('always');
    Mage::dispatchEvent('default');

} catch (Exception $e) {
    Mage::printException($e);
    exit(1);
}

The cron in Cpanel was then:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/username/public_html/cron_for_cpanel.php

if your website was working, try to recompile Apache and PHP with EasyApache.

If recompile doesn't work, you can try update LWP manually (thinking in this error: LWP will support https URLs if the LWP::Protocol::https module is installed.)

wget http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/cpan/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.812.tar.gz   
tar xzf libwww-perl-5.812.tar.gz
cd libwww-perl-5.812
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

New/Best update code:

rpm -qi perl-libwww-perl
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force LWP

You should be using the cron.sh file over command line (not a GET), and specify the sh path

/bin/sh /home/domain/public_html/cron.sh
