I don't like to be blunt, but I will be: (1) you don't know what you're doing; (2) find out. Maybe it requires the use of Perl; probably it does not. Plenty of hosting companies are out there, including big ones, including VERY big ones, who have taken just about every routine requirement like this one and made it push-button. But since you don't know what you're doing (yet) you're not going to do anything but smash your own face repeatedly. Quite likely the best solution is to hire someone who actually knows and to watch closely what they have done. Like hiring a handyman one time to save the tips of your own fingers.
