Yes, for all our systems and that includes our Collection and Bank
Reconciliation system which will be the source for the said project.

This is a good idea!  =)  So in short, We'll just make a Perl script in our
Red Hat Linux machine that will grab/get the info from the Oracle database.

My question is, does our Oracle database which uses Solaris on Sparc
Machines need to have Perl installed?  If it's yes then we don't have Perl
in all our existing systems.

What do you mean?  How can we notify the taxpayers that the BIR was able to
received their tax payments?

Well, if your first suggestion really favors in our existing system, that
Perl is not necessary to be installed in our Sparc machines which contains
our Oracle database and Solaris, but only in our Red Hat Linux machine, then
we'll go for your first suggestion.

Thanks Ian.  You're the man!  =)
