Expiring a password

Is there a way under enhanced security to manually expire a password
so the user is forced to change it when they log in? I'm writing
a bunch of perl stuff to automate adding accounts, and I'd
like to give newusers a random password, and force them to
change it the first time they use it. I looked at the manual
for the u_exp field, but this is an expiration interval, not
a flag that says "password is currently expired"

thanks.
