OK,

At least there is one mistake, probably your shell script habit. 
You can't run a direct command from a perl script.
The easiest way is to replace
isdnctrl dial ippp0
with 
system("isdnctrl dial ippp0");

And if I was you, I would put the isdnctrl path before the command
like /sbin/isdnctrl . Not sure about your path.

The best way to test a script like this is to run
the command by itself, without misterhouse. Misterhouse is only a wrapper 
around perl script.

copy the "system" line in a file named test.pl
and then run the command "perl test.pl"
it should start your network connection

Send me your mh.private.ini configuration related to the network
