Thanks for your answer

my first problem is with chdir it seems that it doesn't support UNC path

use strict;
use warnings;

chdir('\\\Bureautique\Reporting France');
system( 'dir');

the result is soething like

CMD.EXE was started up, with '\\Bureautique\Reporting France' as a way of
catalog accesses in course. The accesses ways UNC are not taken charge of.
Usage of the catalog Windows by default.

Grace to your assistance, i solve my problem easily.

my $Path = '\\\\Bureautique\\Reporting France\\';
my $xlsFile = 'Reporting France.xls';
my $Program = '"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe"';
my $Command = $Program.' "'.$Path.$xlsFile.'"' ;

system( $Command );

no needs of chdir !!
it was just à matter of slashes and quotes and double quote

many thanks for all of you
