RepeastMasker.pm is a wrapper for the RepeatMasker program.  This is  
from the POD:

DESCRIPTION
        RepeatMasker is a program that screens DNA sequences for  
interspersed
        repeats known to exist in mammalian genomes as well as for  
low complex-
        ity DNA sequences. For more information, on the program and  
its usage,
        please refer to http://repeatmasker.genome.washington.edu/.

Newer versions are available here:

You need to install RepeatMasker in your PATH in order to use the  
wrapper.
