The list argument form of system is also FASTER than the scalar form, isnt' it? I believe I read somewhere that the scalar form invokes another shell and hands off the processing to it, whereas the list form is more... er, direct? Faster and more secure. Mmmmmmm... I can't explain how but I know I read it somewhere. Could someone elaborate for me about what the list form actually does?
