I tend to use PHP (and present the results in a browser or via email) for scripts that fall outside the scope of (PL/)SQL. I have never had a serious look at Perl, is there any website(s) that can give a clear explanation of the pro's con's of both?

The reason I choose PHP was the ease of learning and availability of resources/examples.

Perl is a full flege programming language, it can do almost anything such as Java or C++ can do. SQL*Plus or Shell is very limited in terms of functionalities.

Besides, Perl is portable language. Perl code runs on almost any platforms. ----- Original Message -----

I've read a lot about PERL on this list. And, I am wondering what can you do with PERL that you cannot do with SQL*Plus, PL/SQL or Unix shell scripts?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
Ken Janusz, CPIM
