Running a exe from different folder

Comment:

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.

In linux "exe"s are worthless. I understand what you meant to say but please realize they are not called exes, that is for the windows world.
