Please read How do I post a question effectively? and Writeup Formatting Tips. Ill-formatted and unclear questions are less likely to get you useful answers. In particular:
- please wrap code in <code> tags.
- what do you mean by "processes the names"?
- histrionics actively discourage monks from helping (i.e. "HELP!!!")
Assuming you have a script named "1234.pl" that "processes the names", the answer to your question can be found in perlrun in the form of a command-line switch. | [reply]

If this is homework, indicating such, showing what you have tried, showing your thought process, and other documented efforts will garner much more help than a "please write this for me" type of request.

Isn't this what TA's are for? | [reply] |
@Illuminatus : Yes TA's are supposed to help, provided we have some. I just said I m new to perl so I dont know how to get started with these things. Thank you for replying back
@kennethK : thankyou for replying back I have edited my question and I hope this makes sense now. If you start telling me how to do things I will write my code on my own. I dont want any one to write a code for me.
@MidLifeXis: Yes this is a part of homework, I wanted a basic idea to do this. I am not expecting anyone to write a code for me. That is plagiarism. I dont have computer brains to help me figure out stuff that is why I came here to ask for help. Thanks for your valuable time

Have a look at the system() builtin (perldoc -f system), the chomp() builtin and the $^X variable described in the perlvar manpage.
