You won't know the full meaning of everything that you are doing, but you will be able to get it done, me thinks. Please, please, please "steal" some "template" code from this site and tweak it to your task.

Good luck

I have to work things out to get the stuff completed as my company doesn't have any Perl programmers available right now and they would like me to do this.

Plan to spend thirty minutes a day on Perlmonks, then. Also wouldn't hurt to get a copy of the camel book, or at least grab it from the public library. Four weeks is definitely more than enough time to learn the basics of Perl, but since you're *also* doing a project in that time, you might need to put in a little reading/learning time outside of work hours, if possible. (Knowing Perl, however, will prove so invaluable that you'll not regret spending this time.)
