read from flatfile and convert

Hey Guys, Heres the deal, I have a client who wants me to make a "testimonials" program for him, Which is no problem till now, but now he has come with some additional requirments that I dont know how to deal with... he has a flatfile with a crap load of entries and he wants me to export it into mySql! Do any of you know what function to write to read a record from a flatfile and write it to the database record for record? doing it manually will be a pain in the --- but i dont want to lose the chance for work...:-( The flatfile was written using perl. If need be I can give you the MyTestimonialsDB.txt file to screw around with..... As usual, Any help appreciated. Kindly reply, Cheers, -Ryan. /*Don't steal. The government hates competition.*/
