You
can not connect to SQL*Plus. You can connect to database and do some funky SQL..
As for
RMAN and the rest, there are calls like "open","system","fork" (not cutlery) and "exec"
that
the more perverted among us would use to communicate with the OS.
Is the

  Good morning everyone,
  I apologize for the OT post.
  I was looking at the DBI. It suddenly occurred to   me that I can only connect to sql*plus with this. I'm not minimizing   it's usefulness, but I am wondering if I can use a perl script to fire off the   rman backup, scan the log for errors, mail the log, etc. everything I   used to do in ksh.
  Any examples of a "host" type command or something that   may possibly meet my needs would be greatly appreciated and rewarded by a   virtual monkey beer :)
  Thank you
