Using Perl to Read jar file MANIFEST file.

Has anybody every tried to create a Perl program ro read the contents of 
the MANIFEST file in java jar file? We are trying to develop something 
to provide comparisons for change between different implementations. Is 
this a simple Perl backtic, system or exec of the jar command or is 
there a more exotic way to do it? Also, we need to extract Checksum. But 
that seems documented.
