Thanks to all. The below worked.

You still haven't learned to check the return value of cd. :)
That should be:
cd /usr || exit 1

Why not use cvs update? Of course you need to chdir to /usr/src

Perhaps you should actually show the complete output from one that
succeeds and then again

This doesn't do anything, except waste time.
May I suggest a good book or two for learning perl, so you won't keep
wasting time on this? :)
Might be a good way to learn to check return values as well.

How is $PATH set? Do the scripts work if you include the full path?

this works for me, recheck your install, or otherwise
try to compile ftp again from sources.

Using system () does not get any different behavior, whether I pass a

followed by a complaint of an invalid directory, and
`cd /path-to-dir;rm *`;

You shouldn't be using backticks in a perl script. Backtick simply
starts a new process/subshell and runs whatever you have
