Instead of multiple scripts to add, remove, update records generally I would write one script that uses command line arguments (eg: Getopt::Long) and a "dispatch table". eg:

sub add {
    print "added\n";
}

sub remove {
    print "removed\n";
}

my $dt = {
   'add'    => \&add ,
   'remove' => \&remove
};

my $cmd = "add";
if (defined $dt->{$cmd}) {
    $dt->{$cmd}();
} else {
    print "command not found: ", $cmd, "\n";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
