A) You have two processes - by definition this means more resources
and slower processing.
B) Error handling. You need to parse the output of isql - in a lot of
cases this isn't very hard, but in some cases it can be quite
hairy.
C) Code clarity.
D) Code extensibility. Using Sybperl you can build libraries that do
specialized operations, and reuse them.

Make a speed comparison. Perl should be a lot faster than ksh+isql for
just about anything.
