How to do in perl?

Looks like you got your answer, but I want to add one more point. Remember, Perl is a programming language, not a shell scripting language. Perl doesn't need 50 little programs to do it's work. It has it's own internal methods for solving those programs. More often than not, shelling out is a mistake.
