Generate Report From .txt by Prompting User for Parameters

I am receiving a feed of data that is already coming out in a report type format. I receive this file as a text file. I need to be able to prompt the user for parameters (Beg Date / End Date / Fiscal Monitor / Index #). Then based on those parameters pull the data from the text file.

I am new to PERL and heard that this was the way to go. Please let me know if PERL has the ability to do this or if I should try another solution.

Thanks.
