Yes, I'm sure someone knows of such a program.  Have a read:

    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

There are almost as many ways to do this as there are variations
of the "Berkely db" formats.  Here's one, using the GDBM module -
other options include NDBM_File, ODBM_File and SDBM_File.

    $ perl -T -w -e 'use strict; use GDBM_File;
	tie my %db, "GDBM_File", $ARGV[0], &GDBM_READER, 0600 or die "tie: $!\n";
	while (my ($key,$val) = each %db) {
	    print "$key => $val\n";
	}
	untie %db' FILENAME

Yours sincerely,
