The intent behind the code you have here is very difficult to figure out.
Your syntax error is a result of quoting problems.
system ("rsh","btzp17","/usr/local/bin/perl -e "foreach $line
^ ^
^ ^- and this is where it ends
^- this is where this string starts
(@allfiles) { print $line;}"`") ;
^ ^
^ ^- and end
^- string start
Are you trying to somehow print the values of @allfiles into your system
argument, or did you miss the extra quotes?

How does this even work? Where is the remote perl program getting
@allfiles? There is no initialization of the variable in the snippet.
