Well I might have disputed your "almost" dispute until I learned that Perl can run on my Sony PlayStation2 via Linux.

SQL*Plus or Shell is very limited in terms of functionalities.   Besides, Perl is portable language. Perl code runs on almost any platforms. ----- Original Message ----- From: KENNETH JANUSZ To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2003 22:34 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
