Hi.

As far as I can remember - you can call only C/Java routines as external procedures ( starting Oracle 8.x ). You must link them as DLL's ( for Windows ) or SL's ( Shared libraries for UNIX ).
I'm not sure you will be able to call perl script that way.

Look at DBMS_PIPE package ( one of Oracle built-in packages ). There is a description in APPLICATION DEVELOPER GUIDE.

Good luck. Michael.
