Sample Perl program for cleaning database on a routine basis

Here is a samlpe Perl Program that gives you an outline on how to deal with cleaning DB on a routine basis (ofcourse scheudled via cron), log the activity as well as maintain the required historic data in the Database. It executes the sql stored in a CTL file by issuing Oracle SQL Plus command and uses all close knit linux commands.

#!/usr/bin/perl
umask 0000;
