I keep getting the error message as updated in TITLE. Please assist !!

Part of code where I am getting error is undermentioned

`cd; pwd > tmp; cp tmp figs/Com/dis/tmp`; my $con = `cat tmp`; if ($con =~ m/^\/(\w+)\/(\w+)$/){ # print "$1,$2"; open(RESULT,'>> /$1/$2/figs/Com/dis/result.xml' or die "c +ouldn't open: $!"); } select(RESULT);

I am getting undermentioned error

Useless use of a constant in void context at ./test.pl line 47. Can't use string (">> /$1/$2/figs/Com/dis") as a symbol ref while "str +ict refs" in use at ./test.pl line 47.

My understanding is somehow it's not taking /$1/$2 in the file path, but I need that what should I do !!
