First of all, line 2 of your code snippet must be:

@trace = <FILEPTR>;

In order for us to be able to give you any useful info, you will have to give us some more info. What is the desired result format?
If you want to take an easier way, I suggest looking at the CPAN main page. From there, try one of the links that you think will help you. After that, it's modules and documentation galore, and I'm sure there's something there that will help you.

Good luck! :-)
