It shouldn't be all that hard (he said :-) to extract the code
from the DB and package them up to look like scripts.  Am I
missing something?

Well, it looks mostly at syntax (AFAIK), so "code is code" for
its purposes.


What I would do, really, is dump out a sampling of the DBI-Link
code (in whatever manner), then hand-edit it and feed it to the
aforementioned programs.  Once you get it to the point that it
is dealing properly with syntax issues, you can mechanize the
process.

This is Perl; we ain't got no steeenking pointers.
