So confronting!

1997:

#!/pro/bin/perl
#Selectie van ...

print "\nDe selectie wordt nu afgedrukt,\n";
print "\nmoment geduld a.u.b...\n";

$report  = $ENV{'REPORT'};
$scripts = $ENV{'SCRIPTS'};
$tmpfil  = "/tmp/t.foobar.$$";

open (TMP, ">$tmpfil");

sqlscript ("$report/foobar.sql1");

while (<SQL>) {
    chomp;
    @id = split (/\|/);
    printf TMP "ple -f %03d%04d%03d | RPT $scripts/foobar.rptmsfnr - |
+ lp -dprinter -op17 -onosz -odiac\n", $id[0], $id[1], $id[2];
    }
close (SQL);
close (TMP);

system ('sh ' . "$tmpfil");
unlink $tmpfil;

sub sqlscript
{
    open (SQL, "SQL @_ |");
    }
