You might better want to use backticks or pipe-open instead of system to get the output on STDOUT...

e.g backticks

my @files = `dir /b /s`;
chomp(@files);

or with pipe-open:

unless (open (DIR, "dir /b /s |")){
  die "Error: couldn't execute dir-command: $!\n";
}
else {
  my @files = <DIR>;
  close (DIR);
  chomp(@files);
}
[download]

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
