What is wrong with this system "..." command?

[Victor]

I am getting error with following code when run unix:

!system "ls >& log" or die "cant run";

error:
sh: log: bad number
cant run at test.pl line 3.

Though it works on Linux!

Thanks,

As the error message indicates, system is trying to parse
your command line with sh, so your csh syntax is not working.
Try "ls >log 2>&1"
