Here is my code: 
my $dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:", "scott", "tiger") or  die $DBI::e
+rrstr;
my $sth1= $dbh->prepare(q{truncate table directory_data}) or die $DBI:
+:errstr;
$sth1->execute or die $sth1->errstr;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare(q{
    INSERT INTO directory_data(dn, cn, surname, given_name, initials, 
+generational_qualifier, building,
    room_number, mailstop, telephone, fax, mail, tfs_id, uid) 
    VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}) or die $dbh->errstr;

foreach $emp (keys %employee){ 
$sth->execute($employee{$emp},.,....)

Currently I have created the Oracle table using SQL Plus. I would like to,however,create the table using a different perl script that I call within this script. Also each time I call the original script I want it to drop the current table and plot the new information. I would like to perform these sql functions in a different script as well. I was told that creating these different scripts will clean up my code. I hope this clarifies my question and again thanks for any help.
