What do you mean exactly ? Does the perl script not actually run the
expect
script /root/grab\-config for you?

Well, you're escaping too much, but better too much than too little :-)
and you have a couple of tautologies, but no matter - that script
appears to do what you appear to want :-) So, the first thing to figure
out is if the expect script is actually getting called at all. the next
thing to look at is how you've split up the arguments to system - you
could try putting them all into one string.
