Specifically:

http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96590/adgweb.htm#998000

It is easy to write a set of PL/SQL procedures that accept input through HTML forms, and report status or success/failure by producing web pages.

I sometimes use Perl or other web-aware software to kick off such procedures and parse the resulting web pages, to automate database maintenance without running any database-specific extensions like Perl::DBI.
