in reply to Bad file descriptor after vmran command using system()
You're using system() incorrectly, specifically its return value. The error message is misleading, $! contains junk from a previous system call. Using system() correctly is very difficult, have a peek at the official documentation. All Perl built-ins suck, this one sucks the most.
Instead use autodie for proper error handling, it's tested and you get nice default error messages:
use autodie qw(:all); # replaces system() system $command; # implicit error handler
