I have moved this thread over the the PERL forum, as I think the experts there are most qualified to answer your question.

where do you see that error? Is it in an error log? I don't see anything wrong with that line as far as syntax goes.

If you comment out that line do you still get an error?

I wonder if the "-" is being interpreted as an operator? Try escaping it:

system("/usr/bin/wget \-O /tmp/mcx.dat http://www.mcxindia.com/xmlurl/GetTouchLine.aspx?userid=IRIS&pwd=CZ33M3KZ53");
