Something odd is happening to the command in the sys-call, and it passed the information back via the exit-code. You might want to consider a slight modification to your routine to capture the return-code and plug it into the string you pass to Die(), don't forget to divide by 256 ....
Something like:
my $return_code = system(...);
if ($return_code) {
$return_code /= 256;
Die(... "Return Code from system() was $return_code" ...);
}
(Not tested, usual disclaimers apply.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
