perl - how to make output of a command a numbered list

Hi there, just wondered if somebody could help me with a problem I have

I have a program that when run from the command line will output a list of objects

Code:

# list_servers
server1
server5
server7
server8
#

I just wanted to know, in perl, how can i make each line of output from the above coimmand, a selectable option in an interactive perl script, so for example

Code:

# example.pl

Please select from the following available servers

1) server1
2) server5
3) server7
4) server8

enter selection:

is this possible in perl ?
