As a minor point: this
my $usage = "
Usage: $scriptname (-type<type> -OIMID <oimid> -version <version_numbe
+r> -out <filename> )
-type <type> :A|B
-version <version_number> :Required.Minimum Security Versio
+n Number.
-OEMID <oemid> : Required.
-out <filename> : Required.
";
could be a heredoc, which would make it easier to lay it out nicely:
my $usage = <<USAGE;
Usage: $0 -type[A|B] -OEMID id -version nnnn -out filename
where
version: minimum security version (integer)
OEMID: one of the OEM IDs fron (source here...)
out: name of any writable file
USAGE
I altered the usage to conform to the more-often used standards from man pages, but you can use whatever makes sense to your users. The point is that it was easy for me to line things up because I'm writing it down exactly the way it will appear when it's printed.
You might also consider just printing to STDOUT instead of forcing an output file; that way your script could, for instance, pipe into grep or sort.

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).
