PL/SQL and Unix flat files

Can PL/SQL read a unix flat file as input? I'm thinking of writing a procedure to read in a flat file and update/insert it's contents to a table after doing a little string manipulation on each record read. Normally I would use Pro*C to do this, but the client seems to have a little C-phobia.

Is this possible with PL/SQL?
