I am trying to write a perl script to get data into filemaker pro.
Getting it out would be nice to. This script will run once a day and
put some test logs into the database. How can I do this? I have yet
to find away to use SQL in perl to do it (how I would like to do it).
I though about calling curl and giving it a weblink that could push
and pull data, but that just seem like a bad way to do it. What are
my options?

Well, since ScriptMaker doesn't use Perl you might try reading the FM docs
and learn how to create the necessary ODBC connections to do it the way
FileMaker wants it.

I know it doesn't use perl, but I don't want to use script maker. I
am looking for a way to input data using a script that will run in the
crontab. I am also looking at writing some cgi scripts to read and
write data to FMP instead of using CDML, because sometimes the request
are not completing with CDML, would be nice have something more
powerfull than CDML, and have something less database depend incase we
are switch database programs. SQL statements would be perfect, but I
cannot find away to get that to work with FMP and perl.
