You're already in perl so you don't need to call it again. Change the line
above to:
s/^($username)(\s+.*)($password)(.*)$/${1}${2}$newpassword${4}/'
You will need to read-in the user file via open and find the location of
the record you want to change before issuing that command. See 'perldoc -f
open' for details.

Once you figure out how to do the above, this will become more clear.
Work on some code and post a sample if you have problems.
Good luck,
