Hello,
I have a few different PLSQL packages stored on an ORACLE DB. For each of these, I have a seperate perl program to call each one similiar to this following statement(snipped for simplicity):

-- begin code segment --
# Statement handler to call database package
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(q{
BEGIN
upload_validation.FILE_FORMAT_VALIDATION(?,?);
END;
});

$sth->bind_param(1,$load_type);
$sth->bind_param(2,$product);
$sth->execute();
-- end code segment --
The issue I am having, the different stored procedures have a different number of parameters. Upload_validation has 2, while check_employee has 5 etc etc.

I want to have a generic perl program that will take in the procedure name and the parameters the stored procedure will take. I having issues because of I can not get around the ? part of the prepare statment. If I send too few args or too many, it dies with a PLSQL error saying wrong number or types of arguments to call FILE_FORMAT_VALIDATION.

Just wondering if this is possible to make a sort of generic driver, or should we stick to making a seperate perl program for each stored procedure PLSQL we need to call.
