Hello guys, I have a perl script that will pass a command to be excuted by a an expect script on the command line. the perl script doest the follwoing : 
$theScript ="temp.exp";
$cd     = "cd ../../logs/tu/tull";
$cmd    = "expect -f '$theScript' '$cd' pwd 'find . -name  '*.std*' -o
+ -name 'ULOG.*' -mtime +
9 -type f -exec rm {} \\;' pwd";    
print "$cmd\n";
system($cmd);

every thing get excuted fine in the front of me by the expect script , however , I get the following error : 
----------------------------
