Question Whats wrong with this line?

I have a file $I_FILE that I need to filter and store the 1st and the 9th columns in another file $O_FILE.
With this in Perl,

system ("awk -F, '{print \$1, \$9}' \$I_FILE | sed '\/^\$\/d' > O_FILE");

I get:
4096045055

The first line in I_FILE is:
4294967295,0,3,2103159,54668771,54668771,0,3233,566547,28,18,12

so it should print:
4294967295 566547
in o_file.

Thanks!
