My main objective to this thread was that I was looking for a way to populate CLS_TMP_$$ very quickly. I didn't want to do something silly like this: 
foreach (@files) {
  # INSERT INTO CLS_TMP_$$ values('$_')
}

because each query would then do a COMMIT, making it VERY slow.

Are we still talking about DBI here? It so, why not just create a db handle with {Autocommit => 0} so that it doesn't perform a commit on each insertion. Insert the x thousand records, and do a single commit at the end. You might also want to drop the indexes before the insert, and then create the index after all records have been inserted.

Of course, I'm sure you know all of this already.
