As you are already inside a quoted string in your perl script you
either have to use single quotes, or escape the quotes with a \

   "/usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth ... -f '(uid=%s)' ..."

or

   "/usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth ... -f \"(uid=%s)\" ..."

or you can invert the qoting:

   '/usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth ... -f "(uid=%s)" ...'

Note that in the last example you cannot use any perl variables inside
the command line (your script don't..).
