I did a quick search on CPAN and found nothing; I'm sure you've had the same result before you asked.

The statistics system R has a module to handle "foreign" files, supposedly it can deal with SAS files. (I've never had need to read SAS files; I've had to read SPSS files. Wrong version of SPSS was supported by R's module when I was trying to mung SPSS files). Of course, if you're going to use R, you may as well use SAS, but the module's source code is available, and it or the documentation may give you enough information to do your data filtration entirely in Perl. See CRAN module descriptions.

Conversely, it may give you enough information to decide to use SAS

I found out from astaines that this won't work. Sorry for wasting your time

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.
