I tried to output version of windoze into my inventory file but it still does not work am I doing something wrong with my system() call here? I get the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.. 
#!Perl

use strict;
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter=>"/");

# I have an environmental variable set with computernames
# so I utilize that...
# my $PC   = "MYPC";

my $PC     = $ENV{COMPUTERNAME};

# Get the Installed software
my %Uninstall = %{ $Registry->{"//$PC/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Micr
+osoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall"} };
my $version;
my $Outfile;
my $fh2;

open $Outfile, ">$PC.csv" or
    die "Unable to open $PC.csv\n";



system ( "ver  > $PC.CSV");


foreach my $Keys ( sort keys %Uninstall )
{
    print $Outfile join(',', &escape($Uninstall{$Keys}->{'/Publisher'}
+), 
                             &escape($Uninstall{$Keys}->{'/DisplayVers
+ion'}), 
                             &escape($Uninstall{$Keys}->{'/InstallDate
+'}), 
                             &escape($Uninstall{$Keys}->{'/DisplayName
+'}), 
                             &escape($Keys))."\n";
}


sub escape 
{
    my $entry = shift;
    $entry =~ s/,//g;
    $entry =~ s/\///g; 
    return $entry;
}
