An interface to z/VM's command processor (CP)  is implemented as a device 
(/dev/cpcmd)
I want to use perl to send commands and receive results. 

I have never done I/O to device, so this is something new.

I have a sample c program that does:
 fd = open(CPDEV, O_RDWR);
 if (fd >= 0) {
    rc = write(fd, command, strlen(command));

I would rather code in perl than c!

I need to write to /dev/cpcmd and read back from it.

Can someone start me up in the right direction?

Do I use Fcntl? If so, I had difficulty following the example in "Perl 
Programming".

Thanks
