gracebat runs in X, but not as a system call from a perl script

I do startxwin to open X and then do
gracebat <parameters>
this does what I want, namely produce a jpeg file
Now if I try this for a perl script(run from X)
system(gracebat <parameters>)
i.e. the exact same line that produced the right result
I get an error.
I guess the reason is that I am using the activestate perl instead of the
cygwin
perl; anyway there were reasons for that, not sure if valid or not[the reason
was getting DBD::Oracle to work, which was a huge pain].
So I guess "system" to perl is whatever system Activestate was installed for,
i.e. Windows.
The question is:
Is it possible to get around this?
Can I tweak the system command so that it executes gracebat(but
otherwise use Activestate, e.g. for Oracle DBI queries?
