Question Run an exe from different folder

Am trying to run a exe on my unix machine from a different folder.

For instance,
i have a perl file in a folder /home/asif/runprj.pl which runs a exe in a different folder /home/projects/cobsat/a.out

and my perl file is something like this

#!/usr/bin/perl
system("/home/projects/cobsat/a.out");

now ...is there anyway I can run the exe by actually getting into the cobsat directory and simply execute ./a.out instead of runnin it with absolute path.

Name
       mhpath - print full pathnames of MH messages and folders

Syntax
       mhpath [ +foldername ] [ msgs ] [ -help ]

Description
       Use the command to display the full pathname of the specified folder.  If you do not specify a folder, displays the pathname of the current
       folder.

       If you specify a message with its message number, displays the pathname of the specified message.  You can also specify a  number  of  mes-
       sages,  or  a range of messages.  If the top of the range that you specify is greater than the last message in the folder, displays as much
       of the specified range as possible.

       Additionally can take a keyword or a sequence name.  The following keywords are acceptable:

       first	 The first message in the folder.

       last	 The last message in the folder.

       new	 The message after the last message in the folder.  You cannot use new as part of a message range.

       cur	 The current message in the folder.

       prev	 The message before the current message.

       next	 The message after the current message.

       all	 All of the messages in the folder.

Options
