Shame on you for not checking the return status of your system calls
From the docs:

You can check all the failure possibilities by inspecting $?
like this:

if ($? == -1) {
print "failed to execute: $!\n";
}
elsif ($? & 127) {
printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n",
($? & 127), ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without';
}
else {
printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
}

Hope this helps
