Heh. Was that you posting on the CLUG list a few hours ago? Around here we tend to answer specific questions better than vague ones. Part of the trouble with your question is that the answer is a simple 'yes'. Perl can do anything you want with data files.

We've all written scripts to do similar things to what you want. I can show you one that I used to load data into a PostGre database, but it won't help you because the data is different.

You will either have to post your scehma or start to write a program, which we can then help you with.
