I need to pass a physical file( or the contents of that file), that contains code to create an Oracle stored procedure into DBD-Oracle. So like SQL PLus, where I'd say  SQL> @package.spb, I have been trying to do all sorts of things with $DBH->prepare / do / etc. As of right now, this is not working: 
# load file contents  
open (FILEDATA, "$sql");
while ($record = <FILEDATA>) {
  print $record;
}
close(FILEDATA);
                 
# prepare the stored procedure
if ($sth = $DBH->prepare( $record )){
  # execute the stored procedure
  if ($sth->execute()){
    print $LOG "it made it: $HoH{$filename {'full_filename'} \n";     
+      
    $HoH{$filename}{'build_state'} = 'COMPILED';            
  } else {
    # update the hash, since we will not be loading this one
    print $LOG "couldnt excute: $HoH{$filename {'full_filename'} \n"; 
+          
    $HoH{$filename}{'build_state'} = 'FAILED - COULD NOT EXECUTE';    
+        
  }
} else {
  # update the hash, since we will not be loading this one
  print $LOG "couldnt prepare: $HoH{$filename {'full_filename'} \n";  
+         
  $HoH{$filename}{'build_state'} = 'FAILED - COULD NOT PREPARE';
} # preparing sql

When executed, I get: DBD::Oracle::db prepare failed: ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtPrepare) at C:\Tronweb\TW_AUTOMATED_BUILDS\scripts\release_cvs_to_dev.pl line 261. This file that I'm trying to prepare is small, and I've even set up my Oracle session as: 
    #Open an Oracle session
    $DBH = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:$sid", $usr, $pwd )
       or die "Unable to  connect to $sid: $DBI::errstr";
    $DBH->{RaiseError}  = 1; 
    $DBH->{LongReadLen} = 5242880;
    $DBH->{LongTruncOk} = 0;

Do you have any suggestions for this dilemma? THANK YOU for any advice / direction that you can provide!
