Does that work?  system() returns the exit status of the process.
In perl you use backticks to capture output, but for this I'd use the
standard File::Find module.  An example is in the DirTree.pl file
located in the prog-bin directory of the distribution.

Then the pdf2xml.pm module runs pdftotext and pdfinfo.  Are those in
your path?

It's probably the return code from the system call.
