And this command works:
texexec t.tex --result=bla

same here. the equal sign was missing from my command line (the perl version works without an equal sign).
hm, i never tested that and i also never assumed that -) when i started using ruby there was no proper command line handler so i wrote one myself; that one also hooks nicely into other pieces of the system now
By the way, I use these two executable scripts to shorten the command lines:
$ cat /home/sanjoy/bin/texmfstart #!/bin/bash ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` "$@"
$ cat /home/sanjoy/bin/texexec #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.rb "$@"
normally texmfstart is a bit faster because it passes on info to the sub processes about the env used and so Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
