A program cannot save to a variable. Programs save to file streams or
devices or whatever else is around. But not variables.
You need to capture the output of the program:
$output = qx(/opt/sfw/bin/wget -nv $URL1);
But that doesn't look terribly safe... I could put something in $URL1 that
would ruin your day.
