1) -- backticks (``) run the command in a subshell and return it's
output, which in this case is being passed to system as the command
*it* should run.
2) -- system runs a command in a subshell, but only returns the error
code. Output from the command goes wherever it would have gone, which
in this case I would expect to be STDERR (since the output from the
backtick command, which is apparently what you want in the logfile,
probably isn't a valid argument to system())

2) -- nothing is setting $_ here, unless I'm mistaken. You're printing
nothing.

(It would be better to show the line where yopu opened it, but I'll
trust you on this one. ;o)
So, here's my offhand rewrite of what I *think* you meant by the lines
above:
> while ( my $line = <IN>){
print FILEHANDLE `ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0n $line`;
Better?
