May help if you put the output of uname -a so folks know what OS this is ...

I tried your command on Solaris 10 - changed it to the following and it worked - of course, ${var} and ${system} were actually set versus getting the value from a variable - change " to ' and give it a try:
Code:
tar -cvfX - /tmp/notar.info /var/test | ssh mytestsystem '(cd /zones/${zone}/root; tar xnf -)'

NAME
CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of the tarballs VERSION
version 0.60 SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs]; my $perl = '5.14.0'; my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl ); print "Location: ", $_, " " for values %{ $hashref }; DESCRIPTION
CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all "perl" releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the "authors/id/" path that the tarballs reside in. This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN. FUNCTIONS
"perl_tarballs" Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an hashref on success or "undef" otherwise. The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and "tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be located. perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' ); Returns a hashref like: { "tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2", "tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz" } Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".
