Dear Monks,

I am finally writting a DBI Perl script.
I want to call a stored proc. from my script ... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use Getopt::Std;
use vars qw/ $opt_d $opt_u $opt_p /;

my $db        = 'SPROD';
my $user     = 'SPROD';
my $pass     = 'SPROD';
my $dbd        = 'Oracle';
my $sql        = 'exec RBC_test( :? );';
getopts ( "d:u:p:h" );
if ( $opt_d ) { $db   = $opt_d; }
if ( $opt_u ) { $user = $opt_u; }
if ( $opt_p ) { $pass = $opt_p; }

my $dbh = DBI->connect ( $db, $user, $pass, $dbd );

if( !$dbh ) {
    print "Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";
    die "Terminating\n";
} 

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
#$sth->bind_param( ":p", 123 );

$sth->execute(321) or print "Error [" . $sth->errstr . "]\n";
my $rc = $dbh->disconnect();
print "Disconnected rc = $rc\n";

Here's the error message ...
Error [ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)]
Disconnected rc = 1

procedure RBC_test is very simple procedure that takes one
parameter and then just does a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( to_char(n) );
How am suppose to call stored procedures from a DBI script?

Thanks
