What kind of commands are you considering? It might be better to do them
directly in Perl.
You can do it in DBI if you can from PL/SQL. Note that it would run on the
database server though, not your local host.
You could also have a server process listen on a database pipe for commands
and have it perform the desired operations. I wouldn't want to try sending
too much data that way though.
