When I get time to learn more about shapefiles.
I'm certainly no expert, but I think in the contrib directory there are some tools to build shapefiles for you. shapefile is a binary format, so it would be something like "use perl to feed the shapefile builder executable" instead of using perl to build the file directly. At least, that's what seems easiest to me.
Along these same lines, a while back I tried to use the cities shapefile from nationalatlas.gov, but many of the places didn't have a population listed, which made it impossible to filter. I just checked for a new release, but no such luck.
