I have a my own custom command line unzipper that my host, simplyhosting.net says should be able to execute. However, I cannot get it to execute. The security settings are 755 for all the files in the CGI directory. My unzipper is supposed to unzip files after they are uploaded, so I'm trying to execute the unzipper from a command in a popular upload script.

Update. I removed the copyrighted code.

The uploader works perfectly as does renaming the file. The unzipper is called no-frills.exe: 

    my $originalfile = $success[0];
    my $uploadedfile = $success[0].'.zip';
        rename($originalfile,$uploadedfile);
        print $uploadedfile;
open my $wfh, "| no-frills.exe $uploadedfile";

Thanks in advance
