OK, I've cleaned it up, compiled it, using olu's help.

olus, your help was great, but I need to call SQLplus on the sql files and SQL*Loader with the ctl files, but it was the guidance I needed (as well as the kick in the rear ;)

Thanks again for the help folks.

my $workDir = './whatever';
my $oraLogin   = 'user/password\@database';
    
my @filesToLoad = (
   { "FileName" => 'datfile.dat',"FileLoc" => 'filedir',"OKFile" => "O
+K.htm"});
        
chdir($workDir);

foreach my $fileToLoad (@filesToLoad) 
  {
    my $fileToLoadPath = "$workDir/$fileToLoad{'FileLoc'}";
    my $dataFile = "$fileToLoadPath/$fileToLoa{'FileName'}";
    my $okFile = "$fileToLoadPath/$fileToLoad{'OKFile'}";
         
    if ($fileToLoad{'OKFile'}!="NO" && -e $dataFile )
       {
        #remove OK file
        if (-e $okFile) {rm("$okFile");}
        
        #load available files
        opendir CTLDIR, $fileToLoadPath;
        my @allFiles = readdir(CTLDIR);
        closedir CTLDIR;

        # build array of files
        my @ctlFiles = grep {/\.run_ctl/i} @allFiles;
        my @sqlFiles = grep {/\.run_sql/i} @allFiles;

        #execute the files
        SQLloader($fileToLoadPath, \@ctlFiles);
        SQLplus  ($fileToLoadPath, \@sqlFiles);
}     }

sub SQLloader {
    my $path     = shift;
    my $fileList = shift;
    foreach my $file (@{ $fileList }) 
        {
         system("sqlldr $oraLogin control=$path/$file rows=10000 error
+s=99999 $path/sqlldr.log");
}        }       


sub SQLplus {
    my $path     = shift;
    my $fileList = shift;
    foreach my $file (@{ $fileList }) 
        {
         system("sqlplus $oraLogin \@$path/$file");
}        }
