Thanks but I am not sure how this helps me, got any more details?

?? That's all you need. ??

Haven't you use Perl modules before?

You simply use the module (install it from CPAN if necessary but it
should be installed by default).

Or try this in bash:

Try any of these texts:
http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_doc/library.php?filter=3&terms=perl

Any of those books are available for loan from DCLUG members.
Log in to the DCLUG Members area and use the library from the members
area to contact the book owners.
