Subject: backtick and %x{} not the same?

I can't any information about this, so I dare myself to post here. I have 
shell script I want to call from ruby, say testme.sh, where it contains

echo "It's me"

Calling it with %x{testme.sh} gives me the expected result, but calling it 
with backtick `testme.sh` results in 'command not found: testme.sh'.

The backtick works if I put double quotes around it, ie `"testme.sh"`, or if 
I use shebang in the shell script
#!/bin/sh
echo "It's me"

Why is this? By the way `testme.sh` works in perl which made me expect it to 
work in ruby too (I know, I know, I shouldn't expect that).

Thanks in advance
