Subject: system() doesn't work but %x does


I'm trying to issue an "svn add" command from a script to add everything
under the current folder to subversion.
Command line works:
# svn add --force *

%x / backticks work
out = %x[svn add --force *]

system() does not.
system('svn', 'add', '--force', '*') produces "svn: warning: '*' not
found"

I suspect there is some subtlety in regard to the expansion of the "*";
is there any way of making it work with system()?

Thanks.
