in reply to Bash vs Perl. Why doesn't work...?

Are you getting any error message ? check the exist status of the system command

If you'd like to manually inspect system's failure, you can check all possible failure modes by inspecting $? like this:

    if ($? == -1) {
    print "failed to execute: $!\n";
    }
    elsif ($? & 127) {
    printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n",
    ($? & 127), ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without';
    }
    else {
    printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
    }
