I could make a system call to the UNIX script but I foolishly thought I'd use the Perl version!

Foolishly? That's a little harsh, isn't it? ;)

A little more verbosity in your question would be helpful, but googling showed me what you were looking at... Take a look here: http://ppt.perl.org and here: http://ppt.perl.org and you will see that this is a standalone script, and not a module/package. use/require won't get you what you want. You could copy the code available in the first link I posted in your own script and modify it to suit your needs, or even turn it into a package for code reuse.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
