Hello ytjPerl,

From the documentation system:

my @args = ("command", "arg1", "arg2");
system(@args) == 0
    or die "system @args failed: $?";
[download]

Have you tried something similar? (Not Recommended)

my @args = qw(Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst);
system(@args) == 0
    or die "system @args failed: $?";
[download]

Have you tried something similar? (Recommended)

my @args = ('Runbatch.exe', '-j', 'dpsgl', '-r', 'dpstst');
system(@args) == 0
    or die "system @args failed: $?";
[download]

If there is an error on the command it will be printed through the die command.

Also for general information fellow Monk haukex has written a very interesting tutorial Re: curl without backticks and system() (updated x2).

Update: I forgot to add the reason that why my proposed solution I believe it will work for your case. Sample below:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @args = ('Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst');
my @argsUpdated = qw(Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst);

print Dumper \@args, \@argsUpdated;

__END__

$ perl test.pl
$VAR1 = [
          'Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst'
        ];
$VAR2 = [
          'Runbatch.exe',
          '-j',
          'dpsgl',
          '-r',
          'dpstst'
        ];

Update 2: Based on useful links that haukex and afoken provided the system command that I presented above it looks to have the same affect as a single quote (string). So proposed solution if you wish to use system would be like this (see below):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @args = ('Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst');
my @argsUpdated = ('Runbatch.exe', '-j', 'dpsgl', '-r', 'dpstst');

print Dumper \@args, \@argsUpdated;

__END__

$ perl test.pl
$VAR1 = [
          'Runbatch.exe -j dpsgl -r dpstst'
        ];
$VAR2 = [
          'Runbatch.exe',
          '-j',
          'dpsgl',
          '-r',
          'dpstst'
        ];

Where you explicitly define the list of commands.

Hope this helps, BR.
