Hi everyone , below is a snippet of my code, I am using sed to do some modifications in a file but for some reason the output file is of 0 length, but when i run sed through command line it does the right changes, below is the code 
    foreach my $row (@rows)
     {
      foreach my $key (keys %$row)
       {
        $tempc ="";
        $tempb ="";
        $tempa = $row->{$key};
        $tempc = "href=\"$paths\"";
        if ( defined $tempa )
         {
          if ($tempa =~ /$domain/)
           {
            $tempb = $1 if $tempa=~ /$domain(.*)/;
           }
          else
           {
            $tempb = $tempa;
           }
          $tempb = "href=\"$tempb\"";
          #print "your old $tempc is being replaced by  $tempb <br>\n"
+;
          (my $search  = $tempc) =~ s[/](\\/)g;
          (my $replace = $tempb) =~ s[/](\\/)g;
          print "search = $search and replace = $replace";
          system("sed -e 's/$search/$replace/g' $File1 > $Replace_html
+");
         }
       else
         {
          push ( @NotFound, $tempc );
         }
       }
     }
   } #end of else
 } #end of big foreach

and $search = 'href="\/spanishresources.jsp" '
and $replace = 'href="\/spanish.html"'
