Orly is right. The output of clear(1), which is just escape sequence/s,
will not reach the terminal because Perl will capture it. Stick with
system() or just use print().
On my Mac and Linux, clear(1) is just the equivalent of
perl -e 'print "\33[H\33[2J"'
Remove "\33[H" if you don't want the cursor move to line 1 (*home*).
