in reply to system call not working

Try using the full path to the procheck program. Your bash profile is not going to help you here.

      Please do the following: 

        #!/usr/bin/perl
  $pdbfile = $ARGV[0];
  print "path=$ENV{PATH}\n";
  print "procheck $pdbfile 1.0\n";
  #system("procheck $pdbfile 1.0");

      Does $pdbfile contain the value you expect?
      Does the path contain the location of procheck?
      Are there any spaces in the value of $pdbfile?
