You shouln't use one-argument form of system in such unsafe way (imagine somebody running in that directory: touch file \;\ -rf\ \* and thus creating a file named file; rm -rf *). Use quotemeta to quote special characters or use IPC::Run and pass arguments and file redirections as list elements.
Sorry if my advice was wrong.
