MATLAB: Compiled code doesn’t find perl script

MATLAB Compilerperlsystem call

up to now we are using matlab scripts for postprocessing of circuit simulations. I am just starting to see if it is possible to compile our scripts into matlab. The issue I am facing is that the matlab scripts are using some functions written in matlab which are using system call on perl scripts. After compiling the matlab script, I get an error message that the perl script is not found:
/home/yannick/.mcrCache7.11/avenue1/home/yannick/bin/param2m.pl: Command not found.
??? Error using ==> set_paramfile at 79 ERROR PERL
Error in ==> process_measures_function at 5
how can I define the path to the bin directory in such a way that the compiled code knows where to find the perl script?
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards

Hi,
either use fullfile and ctfroot to get there
abs_pth = fullfile(ctfroot,'home','yannick','bin','myfile.pl')
Or use which
abs_pth = which('myfile.pl')
Maybe consider putting an isdeployed statement around it in order to switch between running in MATLAB and running deployed.
