Thanks...this looks exactly like what I need, however, I do not have that module on my system and I would need to go through system support to it - I know I can install it without sys admin but this script is to go to clients servers and this would be a difficult task to ask of clients to install this module.

If this is my only option, I do have ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit which allows me to build individual executables for the 5 platforms we support - Windows, Solaris, HP Linux, and AIX. But I believe I would have to install the Dev Kit on each of the platforms to do that.
