Automating Gnu Mailman List Updates

Hi...
I have a Perl-based organization data management system from which I will be exracting the e-mail address of individuals and assigning to various Gnu Mailman managed e-mail lists. This needs to be automated so that the e-mail lists are continually up-to-date with the data contained within the organization data management system.
In order to do this I need either a Perl module that accesses Gnu Mailman list objects or a Command Line Interface to the Gnu Mailman system. Are either of these available?
In general, is there a Gnu Mailman model for automating the updates of Gnu Mailman list objects, without using the Web Interface?

I believe you will find that the Command Line Interface will handle everything you need. In particular you might want to look at "sync_members"
