Problem Running an External Program from Ruby Script - No such file or directory

Hi,
I'm trying to write a small script that will help us streamline remediating vulnerability scans. From within the Ruby script, I call a Perl script to which I pass a few parameters from the command line.

No matter what I do, I get an error similar to:
$ ./get-msrpc hosts 139
192.168.49.115:139 -- open
sh: ./findrpc 105.37.49.115 | grep 139: No such file or directory

192.168.49.11:139 -- open
sh: ./findrpc 105.37.49.11 | grep 139: No such file or directory

192.168.49.5:139 -- open
sh: ./findrpc 105.37.49.5 | grep 139: No such file or directory

I should mention that this command I can run from the command line and it works just fine. Put it in the script, and it bombs out.

I have changed the ./findrpc so that it contained the full path, and still got the same error. I'll paste the code below, and will greatly appreciate any and all help.

I should also note that this is running on Cygwin.

Thanks,
Jeff

#!/usr/bin/ruby

if !($file && FileTest.exists?("#{$file}"))
    puts "Invalid input filename detected."
    puts "Please ensure the filename is correct, the file exists, and is not just a single IP address."

    while (line = infile.gets)
        if  line =~ /(\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b)/
            $address = line.chomp!
