I think you mean PERL.  There may be free scripts or templates out there on
the web for you to download.  My UNIX server (Cloud 9 Internet, Inc)
implemented just such a password changing mechanism... probably because it
got too bothersome to have people dial in via a terminal application or
telnet in and have their non-UNIX account's shell be to just allow password
changes.  They may have an example of this (https) service at
