Conceptual Software produces a (proprietary) program, DBMSCopy, which
can access and manipulate data in a number of formats. While its
primary purpose is data access and conversion, it includes a fairly
powerful data language as well. There are also freestanding "access
engines" which may be compatible with other programs, though I haven't
tried running them through Perl/Python.
