[Quoted] I'm used to writing Perl code like this:

#!.../perl

open SQL, "| sqlplus usr/pasw";
print SQL "spool myout\n";
print SQL "select * from employee\n";
print SQL "exit\n";

...

I want to know whether this approach has some disadvantage compared to using OraPerl or any special database modules (maybe those DBI stuff). I don't have performance or any problems right now. But if there are Perl tools written just for databases, there must be something good about them. Thanks for advice.
