Alright, after taking everyones advice, here is what I came up with and works a bit better.

First extact the XML document from the CLOB column in Oracle.

#****VARIABLES****#

my $username = 'system';
my $password = '';
my $database = "dbi:Oracle:";
my $oradbh;
my $xmlSQL;
my $sqlXML;
my $count=0;
my $xmldatafile = "E:\\<company>\\PERLFiles\\trash\\xmldata.xml";
my $datadump = "E:\\<company>\\PERLFiles\\trash\\extract.txt";

#****END VARIABLES****#
#****PROGRAM****#

$oradbh = DBI->connect($database,$username,$password,
                       {RaiseError => 1,
                        PrintError => 0})
        or die ($DBI::errstr, "\n");

#Sets the Long Read Length to accomendate the XML in the RFI_XML colum
+n
$oradbh -> {LongReadLen} = 30000*256;

#SQL setup to extract the XML data from the 8i database
$xmlSQL = qq(select rfi_xml from webrater_owner.quote where rownum < 1
+2);
$sqlXML = $oradbh->prepare($xmlSQL);
$sqlXML -> execute();
my ($xml_sql_data);
$sqlXML -> bind_columns(undef, \$xml_sql_data);

#Write out all the XML data from RFI_XML to a text/xml file

while($sqlXML -> fetch())
{
    open(FILE,"> $xmldatafile".$count) or die "Unable to open $xmldata
+file : $!\n";
    
    foreach($sqlXML)
    {
        print FILE $xml_sql_data;
    }
    
    close(FILE) or warn "Unable to close $xmldatafile: $!\n";
    print "writing file: ".$xmldatafile.$count."\n";
    $count++;
}

$sqlXML -> finish(); #Finish the SQL command
$oradbh -> disconnect; #Disconnect from the database

#****END PROGRAM****#

Then process each file of XML into one file with multiple rows.

#C:\PERL\bin\perl.exe -w

#****PACKAGES****#

        $driverdata[7] = $dr->{RATESTATUS};
        $driverdata[8] = $drivercount;
        $drivercount++;
    }

    foreach $vh (@{$data->{vehicle}})
    {
        $vehicledata[0] = $vh->{year};
        $vehicledata[1] = $vh->{make};
        $vehicledata[2] = $vh->{model};
        $vehicledata[3] = $vh->{vin};
        $vehicledata[4] = $vehiclecount;
        $vehiclecount++;
    }

    foreach $newdata ($filecount, @policydata, @driverdata, @vehicleda
+ta)
    {
        print XMLFILE $newdata.'|';
    }
    
    print XMLFILE "\n";

    $filecount++;
    $count++;    

} #End While Loop

close(XMLFILE);

Its not exactly perfect, but it gets the job done
