Host commands from PL/SQL

Hello,



Does anybody know of a way of issuing host commands from withinn PL/SQL?



The problem is I have a directory in which there could be any number of 
files which I need to read in turn. I know of the UTL_FILE package but 
for that you need to know the file names. What I want is to be able to do 
an ls of the directory giving all the file names.



The host is Unix Solaris 2.6 using PL/SQL v2.3.



Cheers 



MTP
