Subject: Call Perl script from Ruby

Hi,

I have a very basic Perl script (calls a nice CPAN library not available 
in Ruby) that prints it output to the screen. In Ruby I call it like:

sql = `vendor\\sql\\sql.pl "#{@question.sql}"`

But I get the following error

Errno::ENOEXEC in Question#create
Exec format error - vendor\converters\sql\sql.pl "select * from 
cdcol.cds"

When I call it from DOS it works perfectly. How can I fix this? And is 
there an alternative for using ` (backquotes)? Thanks for the help.

Kind regards,

Nick
