leo_jeo:

There are several problems, first of which is that your SQL file doesn't just contain SQL. It also contains commands that sqlplus uses to format the output. It would be easier to help if you'd provided some of your DBI code that failed.

The interesting bits of your converted script should be something like:

my $ST = $DB->prepare('select * from side_table');
$ST->execute;
while (my $hr=$ST->fetchrow_hashref) {
    # Print formatted columns
    printf "% 8u ",   $$hr{FIRST_COLUMN};
    printf "%12.2f ", $$hr{COLUMN_2};
    ...etc...
    printf "%-200.200s\n", $$hr{XXX};
}

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
