Perl is a full flege programming language, it can do almost anything such as Java or C++ can do. SQL*Plus or Shell is very limited in terms of functionalities.
 
Besides, Perl is portable language. Perl code runs on almost any platforms.

Subject: PERL?

I've read a lot about PERL on this list.  And, I am wondering what can you do with PERL that you cannot do with SQL*Plus, PL/SQL or Unix shell scripts? 
 
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks much,
Ken Janusz, CPIM
