Ah well, I wanted this to be self contained and 100% in the database.
Java was the way to go I am afraid. Though it could be done
in Perl, it didn't seem appropriate for the article.
The Java was minimal BTW, no way to get directory listings
from a server in PL/SQL.
Doing this in Perl would have been a lot more work and too
much detail to include in an article. Now if they want to
pay me for a Perl version...
