HI, I am trying to write a script in Perl which will create a clearcase view (dynamic) and also set the config spec from a file. But when i run the script, it terminates just after creating the view and not proceeding with further commands (Probably because of a new shell). Can you please help me in fixing this. My code is mentioned below 

#!/opt/trs/apps/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $usr=`whoami`;
print " User is $usr ";
my $ct = '/usr/atria/bin/cleartool';
chomp($usr);
#my $viewtag = $usr."-pal-rel";
my $viewtag="palmida-rel";
my $bl_name = $ARGV[0];
my $cs_file = "/tmp/$usr-cc-cs.txt";

print " the BL is $bl_name \n";
open (my $file, ">", "$cs_file") || die ("No Config Spec file");
#print MYFILE "element * CHECKEDOUT \nelement * /main/LATEST";
print $file "element * $bl_name \n";
close ($file);

print $file;

sub usage
{
print " USAGE: \n  Please Run the script as shown below. \n perl /home
+/venn/MyPerl/pal.pl <BL NAME> \n";
}
#&usage();
print " $viewtag \n";
#system(sprintf("%s mkview -tag %s -stgloc viewstg_bheecc18; %s setvie
+w %s", $ct, $viewtag, $ct, $viewtag));
#system ("$ct mkview -tag $viewtag -stgloc viewstg_bheecc18; $ct setvi
+ew $viewtag; $ct catcs");
system ("$ct mkview -tag $viewtag -stgloc viewstg_bheecc18;");
system ("$ct setview $viewtag; $ct setcs $cs_file");
system ("$ct setview $viewtag; $ct catcs");
