Hello - need to put a plastic pipe thru my poured foundation wall. How
do I do it and how hard is it to do?

If it's above ground rent an SDS hammer of appropriate size. If it's
below ground then hire a contractor who knows what he's about.

How big a pipe? Small pipe, rent or buy a hammer drill. Bigger pipe,
same hammer drill, and drill a circle of holes, and crunch out the
middle, or rent a hole saw. Really big hole, hire it out. I paid about
$300 to have a duct-size hole punched through mine. (in a spot where the
load above was not an issue.)

Usual caveats about not creating water paths through the wall apply.
