failure to run a perl script using C#

I am using this code to run a perl script from a C# program:

        String config_location = file_path
        ProcessStartInfo perlStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe");


        perlStartInfo.Domain="C:\\e\\oa\\dir_path";
        perlStartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Perl64\\bin\\perl.exe";
        perlStartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\e\\oa\\Evergreen\\evg\\scripts\\helper\\program.pl" + "-config" + config_location;
        perlStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        perlStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
        perlStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = false;
        perlStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = false;
        perlStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
        perlStartInfo.WorkingDirectory="C:\\e\\oa\\dir_path";

        Process perl = new Process(); 
        perl.StartInfo = perlStartInfo;
        perl.Start();
        perl.WaitForExit();

the code was basically obtained from here - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/ea9455e1-b254-49e1-99df-41718ea80b5b/how-to-run-perl-scripts-in-c

file_path is an argument to the program. dir_path is where the program should look for the data it requires. program.pl is the perl script I am trying to use.

running the script through the command line goes without problems. when runing using my code - it seems as though the perl script doesn't run at all (i'm not sure), and if it does and fail i'm not getting the program's output.

maybe you've missed the whitespaces in Arguments ? 

perlStartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\e\\oa\\Evergreen\\evg\\scripts\\helper\\program.pl -config " + config_location;
