<DIV>The expression in backquotes `bin/Debug/ConsoleApp` is interpreted by Perl
then passed to either a Windows exec call or to a Windows command shell.
The syntax has to match what Windows is expecting. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The syntax is not the same as what you are typing at the prompt since you
are using the cygwin shell. You can test the required syntax by opening a
DOS command shell and trying your command there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To start with try specifying the full (windows) path to the application,
including the extension. E.g.
c:\\some\\dir\\bin\\Debug\\ConsoleApp.exe. Use back slashes and double
them up because they are inside back quotes.</DIV>
