Illa,

At first my reply was going to be biting, but after re-reading your post, help clear up a couple of points please.

1) how long has this class been going on?
2) is this high school, tech, or college course work.
3) what classes were pre-requisite to this class.
4) how long have you been attending the class, and did you take the pre-reqs?
5) When was the work assigned,and what is the due date?

If this is one class, you have attended all classes, taken all pre-requisites (with a C grade or better) and done the homework, please post your instructors email, as I would be interested in the goal of this type of assignment.

Otherwise, if you have missed a bunch of classes, skipped pre-reqs, or any other self inflicted foolishness, the course is clear. Ask the Monks to guide you to some good reading, post specific, Perl language related questions - including your coded attempt to solve the problem.

Please understand that we are here primarily to further people's understanding of the Perl language, and promote it's growth through use. When a question comes up that includes statements like "I need to use Perl to . . . using :HTML, Oracle, and Perl and not using Javascript or VBscript - - - and I am confused by it all", we are at a bit of a loss.

Perhaps evaluating what is required to do the work, and your knowledge in each area would help.
1) Oracle - can I accomplish all the required activities in SQL through a SQL user interface?
2) HTML - can I create a page with a form on it that will present the input fields I need, and show some hard coded flavor of the data?
3) Perl - Can I create a program to execute the SQL from step 1, at a command prompt and print results? (also logging in, committing and logging out)?
4) Perl - can I create a program that runs on my web server as a CGI script that will output the page in step 2?
5) Perl - can I combine steps 3 and 4 creating a self calling CGI script?

If you answer the above in order, your assignment will be done. It sounds like you have the basics for step 1 down pat. Now if you can complete step 2, you are then moving into the realm where the Perl Monks can be of assistance.

I hope I have not over stepped my bounds in stating my beliefs of what the Perl Monks generaly stand for. Many of us are willing to go off topic a bit to help a new programmer out, but doing someone else's homework is too far off topic, not to mention you need to earn the grade, not us.

Good luck!
