I don't know Rails all that well, but it strikes me as doubtful that you  
want:

which will _replace_ the executing ruby process with a new process (here  
running dir/p), and won't return. Maybe you'd want backticks instead:

	@dr = `dir/p`

Also, I'm not sure whether you mean `dir/p` or `dir /p`. In any event,  
note that those are backticks, not single quotes as you've already tried.

Hope that helps,
