in reply to reading txt and update into database table

This text file looks very much like an ".INI" configuration file.

Config::INI or Config::Tiny can read (and write) this type of files easily and transform the contents into a Perl data-structure.

Such data-structure can then be translated into an SQL statement very easily which DBI will use to update your database.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
