RE: st: CommandLineEmailer using gmail ??

Does Stata allow writing a perl script inside a do or ado file sth like following
being hh.ado
program hh
clear
shell vi perl1
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
......
:wq
perl perl1
..........
.......
end
The reason is because I have a xml file( in excel format) which contains certain strings which need to be found and replaced with other strings. I have a feeling since stata can't do that or limited, I am thinkingh to use perl to accomplish it.
Thanx..
