incorrect quotes/escaping?

Hi all, i have a perl script. from within the perl script, i am calling a system command which i need to pass in a perl variable. but the variable substitution does not seems to happen. would like to find out where is the missing escape character or extra quotes;or what is my mistake.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$community="public";
$result=system("snmpwalk -v 2c -c $community localhost system");
