Like Jeff told, use the chdir function
(perldoc -f chdir)

You should always check the return value of the system command.
Note that return 0 is O.K., and every other value is an error:
system("tar -cf tarfile.tar DDA/*") and
print "Error occurred: $!"
But the best is to use an existent module:
Look for the CPAN module
Archive::Tar or
Archive::Any
