Hi,

I managed to install and run Wikifier using command line and it went through well. Now I need to use it as a part of my Perl script. 
I changed the paths in Config files to point to the correct folders and ran it as:

my $wikifier = `java -Xmx8g -classpath ./path-to/Wikifier.jar:./path-to-all-jar-files-in-lib-directory CommonSenseWikifier.ReferenceAssistant -annotateData path-to-input-corpus path-to-output-folder false path-to-Config/Demo_Config_Deployed`;

I receive a lot of exceptions as the one below and it tries to install some dictionaries. I don't recall it would happen when I ran the Wikifier before from the command line. It doesn't generate any output in the end.

12/09/15 23:24:40 INFO dictionary.Dictionary: Installing dictionary net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.FileBackedDictionary@1e2acc65
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -7557

        at CommonSenseWikifier.Caching.CachingCurator.getTextAnnotation(CachingCurator.java:62)
        at CommonSenseWikifier.ReferenceAssistant.main(ReferenceAssistant.java:80)

Can you advise what could cause these exceptions or if I'm missing something for running Wikifier from a Perl script?

Thanks,
Bahar
