If you can do it from the command line, wrapping it in a script is a trivial exercise. Whether to use Perl or the local batch file language is a rather uninteresting question at that point (I would suspect the latter is easier, unless you have specific reasons to want to use Perl).

Can you please give me an idea about those commands....??...Actually I dont know the commands which can be used from a Windows System Command Line to add a Unix User to a Unix Group in a Unix Server. Please Help.....!!!

I doubt there is a way to do it directly. Logging in to the Unix host and doing it there can be done from Windows, though (and of course, if you're scripting savvy, you can parametrize it so that you can name the user(s) from the command line).

Code:
ssh unixhost 'unix commands to add a user to a group here'
