[MacPerl] Are thery any Xbase modules or tools for MacPerl

[Josh Kuperman <josh@racing.saratoga.ny.us>]

I have a lot of data in Xbase format. I like the things I can do with
FoxPro (an old version) and Excel. I can write FoxPro code and access it
through AppleScript (sort of). Excel is also very AppleScriptable. But some
things would be very easy if I could access Xbase tables directly from
MacPerl.  I've seen some references to dbm which is apparently something
else. I'm not wedded to Xbase, as long as the alternatives run on a Mac and
are freely available with source code.

Is there Xbase support in Perl or MacPerl? Has anyone used MacPerl to
manipulate FoxPro or Excel to get at .dbf files?
