To add a bit to toolic's note, which is spot on by the way, the point is that here in the Monastary we tend to prefer you show some dedication to the task.

Being new to Perl is fine -- but if you're at the "I might want to use Perl for this task but have never touched Perl" stage, then your homework is to get started first, prove you can write and run at least the most basic of Perl scripts, and show some sense of comprehending how to use a programming language to accomplish tasks.

Then, even the simplest of context-specific questions are a joy for us to help you along your path through the gardens of Perl.
