    well it is this line that is causing problem 

    system('/usr/bin/scp', "user\@$i:/tmp/zz.txt", "/tmp/zz_$i\.txt");

/tmp/zz_$i.txt becomes /tmp/zz_$i?.txt where $i is a hostname.

      $i is not a hostname. $i is a hostname followed by (at least) a newline. So, please try using chomp on the lines read from STDIN.

        Thanks Monks (chromatic and ikegami). It is missing "chomp" that helped resolve. thanks again.
