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

Use the chdir() function.

That creates a new shell, exectes 'cd /usr/apps', and then closes the
shell. End result: you've moved nowhere.

I tried to do a change directory and then do a tar of
the directory:
My program:
system("cd /usr/apps");
system("tar -cf tarfile.tar DDA/*");
It looks like the cd command does not work ?
Thanks in advance.
