Hello Monks

I have a problem handling an archive from within Perl (under Windows 7)

I have an archive and want to add a few files. The files to add are in a subdir which resides in $archivedir. The list of files is in @filelist (path relative to $archivedir). When I run it it creates arch.cpio.new but it remains empty and gives messages that it cannot find the files to add: 

/tttest/cpio: test/1: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/tttest/cpio: test/2: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/tttest/cpio: test/3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
1 block

The files are there...
Any suggestions?
Thank you. 

My code:
chdir($archivedir);
my ($WRITEME);
my $program= "| \"$bindir/cpio\" -o -O arch.cpio.new ";
my $pid = open( $WRITEME, $program);
binmode $WRITEME; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<solution
foreach my $f (@filelist){print $WRITEME "$f\n";}
close($WRITEME);
