Can't find string terminator '"' anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
You're mixing perl up with shell!
Maybe what you are trying to do is: grep "Eliminating movie" update.log | awk '{ print $5'}'
Or if you want this in perl, then you certainly would not be using 'grep' and
not make a SYSTEM call to awk.

perl -lane 'print $F[4] if /Eliminating movie/' update.log
