perl script

I'm tring to help a friend that has to put about 250 students in his samba box every year. I'm trying to write a perl script that uses Expect to inter the passwords in the OS, Linux. I spawned Expect->(passwd $password); then Expect "password:". However, I get a syntax error when I try to do that.
Anyone with any suggestions. It seems I just don't have the receive syntax
down. I'm also having a hard time finding much documentation, examples for the Expect module.
Thanks in ADvance.
