I asked about this some months back; I believe the answer is that there
is no direct Perl interface to rrdtool dump and restore.

You can do it a little more awkwardly with the Perl system command:
  system( "rrdtool", "dump", $nfilerrd ) etc.

BTW, redirection of standard output to a file is a function of the
shell and I believe that part won't work the way you were trying to do
it above anyway.
