Automating A Perl Script over a database
Dear Scripting Gods
I've never done shell scripting before and have only recently got to grips with Perl, so apologies for my naivity. I've written a perl program which takes in two files as arguments (these are text documents which take in the information I need) The perl program spits out a number, I need to automate this process so it automatically selects the two files for the Perl program in a large database (which consists of these two sets of files), runs the Perl program and saves the result in an array of some sort?! any code, pointers or advice would be very much appreciated! many thanks in advance!
best wishes
Dan
