I'm trying to create a script that would read the content of a text file and use that content to populate a database. Here is what i got so far...

#!/perl/bin/perl
use strict;
use File::Copy;    # Used to buffer files-to-send
use DBI;
use Switch;

#Main#

#Scan File#
my $scan_dir   = "C:\\Log";
my $error_file = "error_log";
my $filename;
my $data;
my @name;
my @info;
opendir DIR, $scan_dir;
open( ERROR, ">>$error_file" );

#  Search cache directory for csv files

while ( $filename = readdir(DIR) ) {

    if ( $filename =~ /\.txt$/i ) {
        $data = Read_File( $scan_dir, $filename );
    }
}

close(DIR);
close(ERROR);


#Read File#
sub Read_File {
    my ( $scan_dir, $file_name ) = @_;

    print "Read file $scan_dir\\$file_name\n";

        open (CVS, ">>Test.txt") or die "Cannot write CVS\n ";
    open( FILEREAD, "$scan_dir\\$file_name" ) or die "cannot open $fil
+e_name\n";

    my $Test    = <FILEREAD>;
    my @Content = split( / /, $Test );

    my ($EquipmentID, $Chamber, @LotID, $Recipe, $AlarmType, $Sensor, 
+$Signal_Level, $Alarm_Upper_Limit, $Alarm_Lower_Limit);  
    my ($UserCode, $Code, $Date_Submited, $Time_Submited);
    my $number;
    my (@array, @Comment);
    my $count;
    my $regex;
    

    for ( $number = 0 ; $number <= $#Content ; $number++ ) {

        @array= split(/=/,$Content[$number] );
        switch ($array[0])    {
            case (/EQPID/i)     {
                print "EQPID = $array[1]\n";
                $Chamber = substr ($array[1], -1, 1);
                switch ($Chamber){

I'm trying to figure out how to populate the databse with content from the Read_File sub. And how can i integrate the Scan_File sub into my program so that instead of those print line in the Read_File sub it populate the databse.
