Hi Monks, My problem is that I have to use a sql file,containing anonymous sql code,from one perl script.I tried DBI but still no avail.Can someone guide me to the proper documentation. Actually I have to port existing shell scripts to perl script,where shell script contains syntax like

`sqlplus -s userid/password@db<<EOF
start abc.sql parameters
EOF`
[download]

And the sql file contains syntax is

WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE
set pagesize 0 
column XXX format a200
    set feedback off
    set echo off 
    set verify off
    set termout off 
    set heading off
set trimspool on
set linesize 500
set long 32000
spool c:\\abc.txt 
select * from side_table 
/
spool off
set termout on
[download]

Issues are 1.I cannot spool file 2.I cannot handle clob 3.I cannot handle set commands Please guide
