Hello Monks,

I'm a newbie to perl and I was wondering if the following code written in sqlplus can be translated to perl. If someone could, please help me out.

sqlplus $connect_string << end > bilevel.tmp

set serveroutput on size 100000;
set pagesize 1000
set linesize 140
set heading off
set feedback off
set trims on

DECLARE
num number := 0;
state0 varchar(8) := '^%^%^%';
state1 varchar(8) := '^%^%^%';
mod_meas_name varchar(12);

CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT distinct icd_meas.meas_name, icd_meas.meas_title
FROM icd_meas, icd_cal_discrete
WHERE icd_meas.meas_name = icd_cal_discrete.meas_name
and data_type = 'DIS' and size_bits_no = 1;

BEGIN

dbms_output.put_line('BiLevel Discrete Commands');
FOR record in c1 LOOP
num := num + 1;

BEGIN
SELECT state into state0
FROM icd_cal_discrete
WHERE record.meas_name = meas_name
and high_count_no = 0;
SELECT state into state1
FROM icd_cal_discrete
WHERE record.meas_name = meas_name
and high_count_no = 1;

EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
state0 := '';
state1 := '';
WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN
state0 := '--';
state1 := '--';
END;

dbms_output.put_line('!!DESCRIPTION: ' || record.meas_title);
dbms_output.put_line('ID;B;' || rpad(replace(record.meas_name,'_'),12) || ';' || rpad(state1,8) || ';' || rpad(state0,8));
END LOOP;
-- dbms_output.put_line('num = ' || num);
END;
