jwashburn,
As others have said:
- It's Perl, not PERL.
- Try O'Reilly's Learning Perl (the llama).
To that I would add:
An experienced programmer could skip straight to
Programming Perl (the camel) but if, as you say, you have no programming background, you might find it a struggle. The llama is a gentler introduction.
I'm fairly new to Perl myself, but I could perhaps give you a gentle prod in the right direction:
open (XCACLS, "xcacls.txt") or die "Cant open file: $!\n";
while (<XCACLS>) {
chomp;
if (/regex goes here/) {
code goes here
}
}
In place of "regex goes here", you need a regular expression.
Good luck!

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.
