in thread What does chdir ?

Thank you, you are right. Using :
print `./autogen.sh';
shows the correct output. So you are right : it does not fail !!
And I shall use error checkong as you indicate. Thank you again.

    Note that once Perl exits, you will no longer be in 'core/efl'. Perl's chdir does not move the directory of the parent that started Perl. You can eliminate the chdir and combine the chdir path into the system command's path to autogen.sh with a very similar result.
