Subject: rubycookbook 15.1 problem

I was following along Lucas's rubycookbook receipe 15.1  for creating a
ROR application for displaying the o/p of dir command on a windows
machine onoto a browser.

my application is named "check" instead of "status" as given in
receipe.

my  C:/Documents and
Settings/ri004902/check/app/controllers/check_controller.rb .. file
looks as
........................................................
class CheckController < ApplicationController
  def index
    time = Time.now
    @time = time
    @dr = exec "dir/p"
  end
end
......................................
and my C:\Documents and
Settings\ri004902\check\app\views\check\index.rhtml .. file is
...............................................................
<h1>Directory structure at <%= @time %></h1>
<p><%= @dr %></p>
.....................................................

I start the webbrick and point my brwser to
http://localhost:3000/check/

what i get is
Application error (Rails)

I tried with @dr= 'dir/p' in index of CheckController .. but in vain.

could anyone provide me a lead.
