Start with this:
---snip---
my $data;
open FILE, "<$filename" or die;
{
local($/) = undef;
$data = <file>;
}
close FILE;
---snip---
Then just create a prepared statement handle with a place holder for
the data and execute it, passing $data along the way. The
"Placeholders and Bind Values" section of the DBI documentation
explains how to do that.
