??? Your question is incomprehensible.

Try quoting the meta characters in your filename:

sub rmView {
    my ($view_owner, @owner_view_tags) = @_;
    for $view_tag (@owner_view_tags) {
        my $newtag = quotemeta($view_tag);
        print $view_tag . " => " . $newtag;
        `$ct rmview -f -tag $newtag`;
 

Basically, if you can't run that statement at a command prompt, perl is not going to be able to run it either. Therefore you must escape special characters just like you would in a cmd prompt environment.
