Hi Monks, I'm totally new to perl script as well as perlmonks :) Can you please help me clear this tiny little doubt of mine. I have a pl/sql file (test.sql) like this

SET HEADING  OFF
SET VERIFY   OFF
SET TERMOUT  OFF
SET FEEDBACK  OFF
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET UNDERLINE OFF
SET NEWPAGE  NONE
SET PAGESIZE  0
SET LINESIZE  2000
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.SQLCODE ROLLBACK

DECLARE
 x NUMBER := 100;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
  IF MOD(i,2) = 0 THEN     -- i is even
     INSERT INTO temp VALUES (i, x, 'i is even');
  ELSE
     INSERT INTO temp VALUES (i, x, 'i is odd');
  END IF;
  x := x + 100;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;

Usually through unix we call this pl/sql using a command

"sqlplus $Username $Password@SERVER test.sql "
[download]

and execute it. I have no idea how to do this in perl can you please help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance
