Need to be +x , not + x !

try get shell( "ls -l" ) then.

you should see in  something like this :

-rw-rw-r--   1 thierry  thierry   2979 Feb  5  2007 rev2perlInit.c
-rw-r--r--   1 thierry  thierry   2559 Mar 28  2007 ToCopyInStack.dat
-rwxrwxrwx   1 thierry  thierry   3797 Mar 28  2007 TranslatePm2c.pl
-rw-r--r--   1 thierry  thierry    577 Feb  2  2007 rev2perl.c

r: read
w: write
x: executable

1st 3 letters for user, next 3 for group, last 3 for others.

On my samples, you can see that TranslatePm2c.pl can be executed by all,
but not the other files.
