Re^7: System call doesn't recognise '>'

This code is not what was suggested:

my @array = ($command, "$arg1 $arg2 $arg3");
system (@array);

What was suggested to you was:

my @array = ($command, "$arg1 $arg2 $arg3");

system("@array");

# or, more verbose:

my $cmd = join " ", @array;
system ($cmd) == 0
    or die "Couldn't launch [$cmd]: $!/$?";
