in thread perl script works at command but job does not work

I have already tried this command and it failed with a code of 256

Then maybe you should be looking at the documentation for the command to find out what makes it return a value of 1 (1 because the return value from system needs to be shifted right by 8 bits - as you'll know from reading the documentation).
