Getting a variable back

I have a program that gets an EXE file using a regex pattern and puts it
into a file variable:
 
foreach(@list) {
    if(m/\d{8}.*x86.exe/) {
         push(@match,$_)
    } 
}
 
I then download the matching file:
 
if(scalar(@match)) {
    $file=$match[$#match];
    print "Downloaded file $file\n";
    $ftp->binary();
    $ftp->get($file);
}
 
I now want to run the downloaded EXE with some command line switches. I
have tried it with system but it doesn't seem to like using the variable
$file plus switches so I was wondering about how to get the filename out
of the $file variable. If that makes sense.
