[thelist] Legacy DBM question

Hi peeps,

the site I have recently "inherited" uses a DBM type database as a data 
store for a bunch of perl scripts. My intention is to convert everything as 
quickly as possible to ASP running (to begin with) on Access. My two 
questions are - how do I access the data in my dbm and can anyone recommend 
a good method to convert from dbm to a nice easily readable sql based format?

I am quite at home with databases in general, both on Windows and Unix, but 
I've never used a dbm type database before, so some general tips on 
accessing the database, or availability of Windows tools so I can download 
it and play with it would be useful.

Cheers
