What happens if you make the call read: system("$command $arg1 $arg2 > outfile") ?

Note that, on Windoze, the arguments for system are the same as for exec. However, exec isn't, or wasn't, fully supported on Windoze, I think you might have to use the single string form of the call, so in your case, something along the lines of... 

my @array = qq/$command $arg1 $arg2 > outfile/;
system "@array"; # Use perl to stringify the command argument list

Just a thought...

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
