While I'm no Perl expert, I've never seen "system" used in this way. I think
system("/htdig3.2b2/bin/htdig -svic /htdig3.2b2/sngl/conf/autoshop-online.conf >
/htdig3.2b2/autoshop-online._htdig.log");
will do what you want. The string just gets passed to the shell for
parsing, as far as I know, so you use standard sh/ksh/bash syntax in
the string. Perhaps in the syntax you used, the ">" got passed literally
as argument 3 to the htdig program.
