You are using the system call, but using backticks. This would mean that
system will try to execute whatever the output is from the command
executed by the backtick operator. Not what you wanted, I'm sure. Also,
you are printing $_ to FILEOUT, but what are you expecting $_ to be?
Since you are assigning $line to whatever is read from IN, I think what
you are expecting $_ to be isn't.

Did you test for failure when you opened the files?
