In perl I want to be able to do the following.

issue the following shell command.

I need the take only the columns and values output by the pkzip command and add the constant "COMMENT ;" in front of it to make the following

Code:
COMMENT       ;  Length Method     Size  Ratio    Date     Time   CRC-32  Mode   Name

Finally I need the above appended to an existing log file.
Please advise me on how to achieve this using PERL. Thanks for your help.
