The system function call returns a boolean value as return value, I don't
remember if 1 is for fail and 0 for success or viceversa.

I think your mistake is the lack of the test construction like if, so

if (system("$addgroup \"$group\"") == 0) {
... do something ...
}

I'm not in a box with perl to test this but something like that could work.
