That's Perl's way of scoping a variable.  

Sounds like you should do some more studying before you put a script
online, especially if this is a publicly accessible server.  At your
skill level (and please understand that I'm cautioning, not
criticizing), your use of system() calls in CGI scripts sends up red 
flags.  There's a lot to understand there before you should feel safe, 
and I strongly recommend that you start by using Perl's taint mode.  It 
will warn you about a lot of unsafe constructs.

Please be careful, and grab some of the blue Perl books from O'Reilly, 
or another reference that suits you.

Good luck ... -d
