perl scalar variable in backquoted string

hi

I've been searching all over the internet to simply do the following:

Code:

$tempfile = "/usr/school/tempfile.dat";

$myvar = param('add'); ###add is the variable assigned to a popup menu

`ls -l $myvar * >> $tempfile` ###I also tried `ls -l ${myvar}* >>$tempfile`

open(ADDLIST, "<tempfile");
@addvar = (" ", <ADDLIST>, $myvar);
unlink("$tempfile");

return @addvar

Lets say if $myvar = "ab"
the output lists all the contents of ls -l and the string ab. But what I want is to see the list of ls -l ab* and the string ab.

Can someone please help me, thanks!
