Passing parameters to change passwds

What I would like to do is enable password synchronisation between
our application suite (Using the TODAY 4GL, anyone else using this ?)
and the OSF level security (enhanced or standard).

For this I would like to script up the password changing procedure
and I would like to know what is the easiest way of passing parameters
(the username and new password) to passwd and returning a success or
failure status.

Do I have to write a C prodedure for this or can it be done using
Perl or somthing similar (passwd + perhaps)

Any experiences welcome.

Thanks in Advance
