[QUOTE="Dave Oswald, post: 4746775"]
You've misunderstood the charter of this newsgroup.

The c.l.p.m Usenet newsgroup isn't here to provide scripts of various
descriptions to non-programmers.  One of the frequent and acceptible
purposes of this group is to answer Perl-specific questions.  You haven't
asked one.  No, it's not a Perl-specific question to ask, "How do I, with no
programming experience, write a script that does XXX?"

I can, however, offer a few suggestions to get you started, keeping in mind
that learning enough Perl to reliably accomplish your task is no trivial
matter.  If you're not committed to learning Perl, you needn't dabble
backstage while there's a play going on.

If you actually want to learn Perl, pick up a copy of the Llama book,
"Learning Perl."  Also begin reading through the "plain old documentation"
(PODs) that came with your Perl installation.   Then once you've begun
learning Perl, feel free to ask questions here related to Perl, after first
examining the FAQ's.
