I am getting the unix path in a variable and want to cd into that path, But I am unable to cd into the path. Here is the script. 

open(LS, "/home/raghvens/52xxmodulelist.txt") or die $!;

@modlist = <LS>;
@mpath = " ";
foreach $m (@modlist)
{
   
   print "\nProcessing $m .. \n";

   $mpath = `/vobs/package134/inttools/modules/unixtools/srce/whichPat
+h $m`;
   print "\nModule Path is $mpath \n";

   `chdir $mpath`; # or die "Can't cd into module path:$mpath \n";
   
   #print "\nCurrent Path is $path";

   if(! chdir($mpath)){
    print "\n cannot change the working directory \n";
    }

   #`chdir confm`;

   $file = "post_REFERENCED_to_EXPERIMENTAL";
   @output = system ("ls -l $file");
   print "YES, Link is present" if $_ =~ /\-\>/ ; 
}
