Script to modify values in database

[Ezra Gilbert <EGilbert@CYBERNEX.NET>]

I am working on a jewelry site where the prices are to be based on the current exchange
rates of gold & silver.  These prices are changed twice a day.  Basically, the price of
an item is it's weight(a field in the products database) times the current value of
whatever metal it is.  I have the current values of the metals outputed to files twice a
day and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I should go about modifying the
database.  I use tab delimineted databases.

I was thinking a Perl script should do the job but I am still quite the novice when it
comes to Perl and am not positive it can do the job.  If anyone has ever done anything
like this or can offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
