All right, this is the last idea I have, namely to check if your program has to be in PATH in order to work:
run "which ls" to see in which directory the ls command is present, the output will most likely be /bin/ls
Now copy the create_cust file in /bin and try to run (from any directory):
Code:
perl -e 'exec("create_cust 1 10000 US S > us_cust.csv");'

If this works, delete the two files (create_cust and us_cust.csv) from /bin and add the actual directory, where the create_custom file is located to the PATH variable.
Hope I was clear?
Let me know how it goes.
