If you let Perl, it will tell you about the error it encounters: `my $cmd = "acdb merge -o merge.acdb -path -f ./@acdb_file_list -verbos +e"; system ($cmd) == 0 or die "Couldn't launch [$cmd]: $! / $?";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Here's my obligatory link to my node where I discuss running external commands using various modules. IPC::System::Simple is a drop-in replacement for Perl's system with much better error reporting, that way you can get some error messages to find out what might be going wrong to start with. Although I think hippo is probably right about the interpolation of `@acdb_file_list`. Also, always Use strict and warnings for more helpful messages from Perl.	[reply] [d/l]

Are you intending `@acdb_file_list` to be interpolated by perl? If not, use single quotes instead.	[reply] [d/l]
