That will work as long as they are sets of tables are the same layout. If not, then you have to map from SQL Server to Oracle which could be a complex time consuming task. Then the best bet is to generate delimited flat files from SQL Server and use SQL*Loader to load them into Oracle. For this I recommend the book: SQL*Loader, The definitive Guide by Gennick & Mishra.
Sorry to say it SQL*Loader uses SQL*Plus, not Perl.
