Your snippet makes no sense (although none of this explains the crash).
- system(1, ...) does not return zero on success.
- system(1, ...) does not return the exit code of the child. It returns the PID of the child.
- $? is being checked before the child has finished running, so its value is meaningless.
Did you really mean to execute the child asynchronously? You're acting as if you want the child to end before proceeding. If so, you want system(@cmd), not system(1, @cmd).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
