Dear Monks!
I have a question for all of you, here in my work place, I need to take out a lot of data from several (like 7) tables from a FoxPro app in DOS, and put it in MySQL tables so I have done a little script to take out the data, the script work it does what is suppose to do, but it take a lot of time doing this operation. How can I make it faster??? this is the code: 
unlink ('c:/proyecto/r501.csv');
#---- This part conects to my 2 databases one CSV and one MySql -----
my $dbhX1 = DBI->connect('dbi:XBase(RaiseError=1):');
my $dbhC1 = DBI->connect('dbi:CSV(RaiseError=1):');
my $select1 = $dbhX1->prepare("SELECT * FROM r501");
print "\nEjecutar SELECT de r501\n";
$select1->execute();

$dbhC1->do("CREATE TABLE r501.csv AS IMPORT(?)",{},$select1);
print "\nconectar al a base de datos en Mysql\n";
my $mysql_dbh1 = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$datafilename;host=l
+ocalhost",
                         "root", "xyz123",
                         {'RaiseError' => 1});
#---- Here I empty the table in MySql ------
print "Limpiando la tabla\n";

$mysql_dbh1->do("TRUNCATE TABLE r501");
#---- Here I load all the data -------
my $sql1 = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/proyecto/r501.csv'
INTO TABLE r501
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'";
my $sth1 = $mysql_dbh1->prepare($sql1);
print "ejecutando la carga de la tabla\n";
$sth1->execute ();

is there a way I can make it faster because to do all the tables it take up to one hour to finish. Thank
