I got a cronjob, where a perl script is started. This script uses the DBI Modul to connect to the Oracle database. The essential part looks like

eval {
	my $func = $dbora->prepare( q {

DECLARE
	l_sql VARCHAR2(100) ;	

BEGIN

	-- here timestamp to stdout
 	MY_PACKAGE.PROCEDURE_1;  
	-- here timestamp to stdout
 	MY_PACKAGE.PROCEDURE_2;  
	-- here timestamp to stdout
 	MY_PACKAGE.PROCEDURE_3;  	

	-- here timestamp to stdout
	
NULL;
END;	                                   
} ); 

$func->execute;	

I wonder, if there is a way to print the timestamp to stdout, and perl receives this message and can process it.
I know, I could write the timestamp in a table and read with perl from that table, but I'm looking for a shorter "on the fly" method.

PL/SQL does not write to STDOUT or terminal, PL/SQL just compute, it runs internally inside the database server.
You could define a bind variable and set it in PL/SQL and read it in the caller but you will have it only when PL/SQL returns the control to the caller. A PL/SQL block is a single statement for the caller.

Also we are still waiting for your feedback in your previous topics.

Other sessions can NOT see uncommitted DML changes.

What problem are you really trying to solve?

@BlackSwan: As I told, I was curious, if there is a way to forward messages from within plsql to stdout.

I like to time each procedure. I solved this now by running only one procedure in an eval-block, then take the timestamp with perl and go to the next eval-block.

So declare a variable for each time you want to get and do as I said.

@Michel Cadot: Regarding my previous topic, your approach with SUBSTR and INSTR helped, thx. Anyway it was a bad design.

Well, there is dbms_output.put_line, it can be used with client program Sql*Plus, if you use command 'set serveroutput on' beforehand.
