Is it possible that it is a permission issue??
though wrong path seams more likely. If you can see them with ls then the path shouldn't be the problem. could you give us ls -al printout.
Comment on Re: File created with system command does not exist
Argh... I am sorry to bother you guys... Whitespace beeing the problem. If you run the program with ... -o output ... it works fine but if I need to run it with Perls system command then it has to be ... '-o', $name, ... and not ... "-o $name" ... else it would introduce whitespace before the name of the file.
