I'm assuming you're referring to

/home/mgatt/rrd/tmp') or die "Non riesco a fare scp\n";

In this particular case, the return value will be 0 on success. This
is unlike most Perl functions where a boolean false result will indicate
a problem. To make your code work, check for the expected result code:
system(...) == 0 or die;
