Perl is definitely up to the task you describe, as another poster pointed out, Webmin is written in Perl.

My concern is that you are taking on a (potentially) very large task and are just starting out with Perl. How much time do you have to finish your project?

Estimating Level of Effort (LOE) for software is hard, estimating it for a project in a language you are just learning is even harder. If your ability to graduate depends on your execution of this project, you'll want to have a solid understanding of the scope or your project and be confident that your goals are achievable.

Have you talked to your advisor/professor about the project and your plans? He or she should be able to give you some guidance based on the requirements of your program and his/her knowledge of your experience and abilities. He/She may even tell you that I'm full of crap and this is exactly the sort of thing you should be doing.
