The Perl scripts write the files you need to complete the tutorial.  You can 
then run as many of the resulting Bash scripts to execute the simulation(s) for 
individual lambda values.  The theoretical background is all explained in the 
tutorial.  You need to do a transformation between lambda = 0 and lambda = 1, 
with sufficient intermediate values to get good overlap of the free energy 
histograms (also explained in the tutorial).
