Hello Monks, i have done lot of googling on how to change AIX user password using Perl, i havent got enough information, so thought of asking here
i have a web application written in JSP for which users login using their current AIX password, i need to give users flexibility of changing password from Web interface rather going into AIX server and changing using "passwd".
iam not really proficient in JSP , thought of doing it in perl and call this from java.
i would like to know below.


* Is it possible in perl ?
* if yes, do i need to install any CPAN modules?


using shell script, i guess "expect" command would do the job, but iam not looking to use shell script here.
Any brief idea or sample script would help me.
Thanks in advance
