I appologize in advance for being a bit blunt but that's just my nature I guess. That said...

This is a perl site. Just because you are trying to execute a command from a perl script by passing the command line to the system() function doesn't necessarily make it perl related. If you were trying to retrieve web pages using the LWP series of modules, that would be perl related and worthy of a post here.

If you want to download files from the web using wget, my suggestion is to start with man wget or at least wget --help. Otherwise, post the rest of your script so that we can see how this is related to perl.

Please spend a few minutes looking at Guide to the Monastery and Perl Monks Site FAQ. Follow some of the links you find there until you feel a bit more comfortable with what might be proper subject matter here.
