Hi, R3volution, and welcome to PerlMonks!
Perhaps the Module Chemistry::MolecularMass would be helpful to you. The following example, but using H2O, was adapted from the Module's site:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Chemistry::MolecularMass;
my $chemical = 'H2O';
my $mm = new Chemistry::MolecularMass;
my $mass = $mm->calc_mass($chemical);
if ( defined $mass ) {
print "The mass of $chemical is: $mass";
}
else {
print "Unable to calculate the mass of $chemical";
}
Output:
The mass of H2O is: 18.01528

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
