change system(@Call) to system("@Call"); and it will work.
[jconner@kwan ~]$ perl -e '
@Call[0] = "gawk";
@Call[1] = "-f";
@Call[2] = "test.gawk";
@Call[3] = "test.file";
@Call[4] = ">";
@Call[5] = "out.file";
print "system(@Call)\n";'
prints: system(gawk -f test.gawk test.file > out.file) which wouldn't even work if you literally placed it that way in a script. However, If you ran this: system("gawk -f test.gawk test.file > out.file") in a script that would work. So, therefore, enclose your array in the system() call in quotes. It works. :)
[jconner@kwan ~]$ ls -l out.file
gls: out.file: No such file or directory
[jconner@kwan ~]$ perl -e '
@Call[0] = "ls";
@Call[1] = "-al";
@Call[4] = ">";
@Call[5] = "out.file";
system("@Call");'
[jconner@kwan ~]$ ls -l out.file
-rw-r----- 1 jconner other 4637 Oct 23 10:56 out.file
[jconner@kwan ~]$

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
