Perl 5uses modules to interface to databases, there's a system which uses a common frontend (DBI - database interface) with back ends tailored to particular engined (DBD - database drivers.) I haven't used th Oracle DBD, but believe that it has ORAPerl emulation. You can read about the drivers at http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/perl/DBI/ and get ther modules by following links there or visiting a CPAN site (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, master site at ftp.funet.fi under /pub/languages/perl/CPAN and widely mirrored.)

Hope this helps,

Mike
