Needless quoting of $date, and there's no reason to separate $date from
the rest of the string:
$backup_dest = "/backup/home/$date-monthly";

Here's the program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$date = `date +%y%m%e`;
$backup_d
try:
--
#!/usr/bin/perl
$date = `date +%y%m%e`;
$backup_dest = "/backup/home/" . "$date" . "-monthly";
$archive_dest = "/backup/home/archives/" . "$date" . "-monthly";
$backup_target = "/home/";
$level = '0';
$cmd = "dump -$level -u -A $archive_dest -f $backup_dest -j 9
$backup_target";
system
