You should provide an executable program as the first thing on your
command line. commit-access-control.pl is not executable under
Windows. You need to prepend the full path to your perl.exe file to
your command line.

On unix any file can be executable, that's why the pre-commit example
does not show this.

HTH,

Erik.
