If you are really brave, you can write stored procedures in the favorite
language of Mr. Cary Milsap and the list owner, the only language that
will take a syntax like this:

@list= reverse sort { -M $a <=> -M $b } @list;

The URL can be found at: http://www.smashing.org/extproc_perl

Not only it is possible to write to files, you can even format it into
multi-line fields, you can have page headers, repeating after every $=
lines. You can do marvelous things with strings and a whole lot of other
things. Standard for accessing the database is described in the O'Reilly
"cheetah" book named "Programming the Perl DBI" writen by Crocodile Descartes and Tim Bunce (ISBN:1-56592-699-4)

You can spool output to the location of your choice in sqlplus. Forms
allows you to use a utl_file like procedure called 'text_io' I believe. In
6i the output is written to the client machine, in 9i the results are
written to the app server.


Why don't you want to use utl_file?  It is designed to create and write text
files from PL/SQL blocks.
