"I assumed he was looking for coding examples to understand the functions he needs to write in perl"

Your assumption was correct.

"... I wasn't suggesting ripping off someone else's code. "

Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand you.

"If you don't know how to program in perl, I suggest you just hire a perl coder for an hour to get it done right."

I take a hands on approach and would rather just continue learning as I go.
