Problem with cat with PERL Substitute

Problem with cat with PERL Substitute
system("cat FILENAME | perl -e 'while(<>) { print $_;}'");
system("cat FILENAME | perl -e 'while(<>) { $_ =~ s/XXX/YYY/g; print $_;}'");
First command works fine but second command gives the following error:
syntax error at -e line 1, near "{ =~"
syntax error at -e line 1, near ";}"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
Any idea why?
