vivekvp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello

Can Perl read Refman database files (.rmx, .rmd)? Is there a DBI for this?

Any example with .rmx or .rmd files and Perl. I have been wrongly tasked with migrating some data!

Thanks,

V

    I'm not familiar with any existing DBD for Refman files. I don't actually know what a Refman file is although I see that they can be exported to XML. DBD::AnyData can probably access the XML dumps as a database. If there is a published spec for Refman (I couldn't find one on a brief visit to the site), then it shouldn't be too hard to build a DBD for. If you find the spec, write to dbi-users@perl.org where I and others will be glad to help develop a DBD.
