Once again, I won't do your homework for you. However, you'll probably do well to consult the following books to figure out how to get the job done:

Learning Perl
Perl Cookbook
Advanced Perl Programming

I would not recommend Programming Perl if all you're trying to do is get things done, fast.

With these three books, and a little bit of programming background, you can probably figure out how to get this done in a few days.

I definitely do not recommend putting this off until the last minute. It's much easier to solve problems when one has more time and is more releaxed.

I would recommend running your script against some very short tests just to make sure that all the individual requirements get done.

Finally, good luck, and don't do this again.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
