PERL for testing in Modelsim Automation

Hi,
I am an engineer working in VLSI industry. Many jobs requirements nowadays also enlist the PERL scripting capability for verification.
So is there any good tutorial that shows how that automation works? Like If I wrote a module and testbench(and testcases) in Systemverilog, and I want to automate the testing, how will I go about that using PERL script?
Please note that I already know TCL, and TCL automation I already use(As ModelSim supports TCL). But how this PERL automation works, I am really curious.
I have learned PERL, but I have no idea how to just about this specific problem.

Thanks in advance

In reply to tahirsengine:

I’ve seen PERL used a lot for macro pre-processing source input, and post-processing output results. I’ve even seen PERL used as stimulus language linked together with the VPI/DPI.

But I’ve only seen a few places where PERL is used as a scripting language, most likely because there are so many other choices that drown it out. Also, many ventors come with their own project/regression management scripting tools that integrate with grid management and continuous integration software tools. You’ll need to look at your particular environment as this Mentor sponsored forum is not for discussing tool specific issues.
