Hello Karl

I can't try out at the moment (I'm not at my own box now), but a "noexec"
mounted filesystem should not be the cause for this issue. I could run the perl
and python scripts just this way. Any other idea?

Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you 
will hear the voice of Satan?

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.

What does "Keine Berechtigung" mean?   Is it literally "Permission
Denied"?  If so, try 
chmod u+x ./col2row.sh
and run it again.  Also make sure the script starts with a correct #!
line.

For society, it's probably a good thing that engineers value function
over appearance.  For example, you wouldn't want engineers to build
nuclear power plants that only _look_ like they would keep all the
radiation inside.
