Use qx or backticks instead of system.

    Many thanks moritz. I am getting what I wanted now. I was trying qx, but in this fashion: 
    
system qx(file /home/patt/DCUProject/cli.pl);

    It never dawned on me to exclude 'system' from the line of code. I had tried backticks, but they won't work for some reason.
