Code:
# FirstIN=001,002,003,004
# echo $FirstIN | tr ',' ' '
001 002 003 004
# FirstINa=`echo $FirstIN | tr ',' ' '`
# echo $FirstINa
001 002 003 004

Or using shell builtin parameter expansion
Code:
# FirstINb=${FirstIN//,/ }
# echo $FirstINb
001 002 003 004

NAME

       Algorithm::CheckDigits - Perl extension to generate and test check digits

SYNOPSIS

	 perl -MAlgorithm::CheckDigits -e Algorithm::CheckDigits::print_methods

       or

	 use Algorithm::CheckDigits;

	 @ml = Algorithm::CheckDigits->method_list();

	 $isbn = CheckDigits('ISBN');

	 if ($isbn->is_valid('3-930673-48-7')) {
	       # do something
	 }

	 $cn = $isbn->complete('3-930673-48');	   # $cn = '3-930673-48-7'

	 $cd = $isbn->checkdigit('3-930673-48-7'); # $cd = '7'

	 $bn = $isbn->basenumber('3-930673-48-7'); # $bn = '3-930673-48'

ABSTRACT

       This module provides a number of methods to test and generate check digits. For more information have a look at the web site
       www.pruefziffernberechnung.de (german).

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
   CheckDigits($method)
       Returns an object of an appropriate Algorithm::CheckDigits class for the given algorithm.

       Dies with an error message if called with an unknown algorithm.

       See below for the available algorithms. Every object understands the following methods:

       is_valid($number)
	   Returns true or false if $number contains/contains no valid check digit.

       complete($number)
	   Returns a string representation of $number completed with the appropriate check digit.

       checkdigit($number)
	   Extracts the check digit from $number if $number contains a valid check digit.

       basenumber($number)
	   Extracts the basenumber from $number if $number contains a valid check digit.

   Algorithm::CheckDigits::method_list()
       Returns a list of known methods for check digit computation.

   Algorithm::CheckDigits::print_methods()
       Returns a list of known methods for check digit computation.

       You may use the following to find out which methods your version of Algorithm::CheckDigits provides and where to look for further
       information.

	perl -MAlgorithm::CheckDigits -e Algorithm::CheckDigits::print_methods

       Petri Oksanen made me aware that CheckDigits('IMEI') would invoke no test at all since there was no entry for this in the methods hash.
