Depends on how and what type of Proggram or code you want to write. Here is a little definition on what perl can do and capabale of:

Perl works with existing C libraries
- Through either the XS or SWIG interfaces, Perl programs can use your legacy C libraries.

Perl handles memory management internally
- Perl handles memory management so that programmers don't have to spend time creating memory management bugs which are the most frequent source of security holes.

If you would like something that control H/Ware basically you may try to write codes on Assembly Language. Python can do the trick too. All Depends on your needs.

vparefiutil

vparefiutil(1M) 														   vparefiutil(1M)

NAME

       vparefiutil - display, update, or delete HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings of bootable disks in the virtual partition database

SYNOPSIS

       db_file] hw_path]

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  displays  the  HP-UX  hardware path to EFI path mappings that are stored in the virtual partition database.  Legacy and agile
       hardware paths will be displayed, if available, as provided by HP-UX.  If the virtual partition database is not specified,  then  the  live
       database or by default is used.	It can also be used to update the hw_path to EFI_path mappings from to the database.  The behavior without
       any options is to display the HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings.

       This command is not supported on PA-RISC systems.

   Options and Arguments
       recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

       Specifies the alternate database from which the HP-UX hardware path to EFI
	     path mappings need to be displayed, updated, or deleted.  or live is default if this is not specified.

       Updates the database from the info available (from

       Displays the HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mapping in machine readable format.
	     Each mapping is displayed in a separate line as follows:

       Deletes the HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings in the database.

	     Note: In live database, this deletes only the HP-UX hardware paths owned by the vpar on which this command is executed.

       If this is specified, only the HP-UX hardware paths at or below the given
	     hw_path are displayed, updated, or deleted.

SECURITY RESTRICTIONS

       This command is restricted to processes owned by superuser.

RETURN VALUE

       returns the following values:

	      Successful completion.
	      Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

       Display the hw_path to EFI_path mappings from the live database.

       The SAS hardware path can potentially change from one OS instance to another, but the SAS address will remain  the  same.   To  locate  SAS
       devices	in  different  OS instances (for example, an nPar OS instance and a vPar OS instance), use the SAS address instead of the hardware
       path.

WARNING

       The option is provided only to remove the stale HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings.  If you remove the valid HP-UX hardware  path	to
       EFI  path mappings, you may not be able to load vpars.  It is always better to follow the operation with a operation to update the database
       with the valid HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings available from
