The first link returned searching for Cobol on search.cpan is Convert::IBM390 which includes an example for reading a Cobol datafile (not sure what a .cad is though). If you want to read the data printed by the datafile simply set the fd with a filler (see below) then set the filler as a comma or pipe (or other delimiter) and super search for reading from a comma delimited file.
fd data-file
LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD
DATA RECORD IS data-rec.
01 data-rec.
05 data-foo pic 9(05).
05 data-filler1 pic X(01).
05 data-bar pic X(15).
05 data-filler2 pic X(01).
* etc....

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).
