in reply to Parsing Pipe Delimited Multi-line File

Sorry if this is off topic, but the answer might depend on the database you are planning to use. For example if you where going to load this data into an Oracel database I would suggest using Oracle's sqlldr instead of a Perl script.

    Also, if you are using MySQL read up on the LOAD DATA INFILE command. This will also remove perl as a middle man.
