This is the system call, i am making right now in perl to tar the files

system("${tarexe} -pcvf $tarname $includepath") which works fine.

$tarexe -> location of my tar.exe file
$tarname -> myMock.tar
$includepath -> ./input/myMockPacketName ./input/myPacket/my2/*.wav ./input/myPacket/my3 ./input/myPacket/in.html 

Now i want to exclude some files using exclude tag, which doesnot exclude the files

system("${tarexe} -pcvf $tarname $includepath --exclude $excludepath")

$excludepath -> ./input/myMockPacketName/my3

The same stament

${tarexe} -pcvf $tarname $includepath --exclude $excludepath  

works fine when i run it in the command line.
