Hi Greg,
Yeah, thanks a lot. Works perfect. The correct perl code is:
my $backupargs = sprintf("-f \"%s\" -F p --clean -U postgres -h
localhost %s", $backupfile, $DBName);
Cheers
Thomas

The interesting thing is, that it asks for a password for a database
named "TB". Only god knows where that comes from! The name of my
database is 'misdwh' and as can be seen on the command is passed as last
parameter.
I would guess that TB is coming from the underscore in the filename.
Try quoting the entire argument to -f like so:
E:\PostgreSQL\8.4SS\bin/pg_dump.exe
-f "//nas-tb/DBBackups/PostgresDBBackup_TB-WS_misdwh_20110609151147.bak"
-F p --clean -U postgres -h localhost misdwh
