Re: passing variables

Variables enclosed in single quotes don't get interpolated. So you need to enclose in double quotes, but escape the ampersand on the array.

system ("tremove \@host:$ep");

It's worth pointing out that you shouldn't use variables in system calls without knowing for sure what the variables contain. If you aren't positive that what's in `$ep` is safe, you are taking a huge risk. You should read the section on Taint mode and @INC in perlsec (and, in fact, all of perlsec is good reading) before letting that line into a public/production environment.
