Perl oracle hotback script

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a perl hotbackup script they might be
willing to share.
I am going to make it multi-platform and adapt it for some of our larger
database with multi-threading etc.
When I am done, I'd be glad to give the enhance version back for others.
I prefer scripts that are simply written so wider audience can easily
support it-Not to mention reducing the chances for "undocumented
features" to show up.
Brian

I too, was in "shock and awe" mode when I found this one out Thankfully,
I did not stick my foot in my mouth and tell TPTB this incorrect info.

While these password rules might be the "official rules", I believe they
are of the legacy variety. I have passwords that:
1. Do not start with an alpha character ([az]) 2. That contain the
^%!=+?<>{}[]|\ characters
None of these cause issues in our apps or using any Oracle client tools
(both Oracle developed and 3rd party).

An Oracle password has the following rules:
A password must begin with an alphabetic character.
Passwords can contain only alphanumeric characters and the underscore
(_), dollar sign ($), and pound sign (#).
So your @s, your /s, and your ^s are problematic from the get-go.

Okay, so why is *that* a problem? After all, last time I checked,
Oracle database passwords were case-insensitive anyway...
Special characters, on the other hand, *can* be a problem. I seem to
recall even SQL*Plus giving me considerable grief with a password that
contained "/" characters... No wait; it was a Pro*C application.
