I need to parse a COBOL index file using a perl script.
I don't know _that_ much about COBOL but it seems the index file is
written in some kind of binary format, its not ASCII, thats for sure!
Has this been done before?
Is there an existing library I can use for this?
failing that...
Does anyone know how COBOL writes its index files and how I could go
about parsing them with perl?
Or is there a simple way to read and parse binary style data?
