NDBM support

I have an old and rather large (thousands of lines of code) piece of
perl software that utilizes (in numerous places) NDBM databases,
including dbmopen() etc. calls. This code has now been moved by the
website administrator to a different UNIX platform that does not
support NDBM.
Unfortunately I do not have the resources to completely rewirte the
code to utilize a different database. Even more importantly, all of
the data the software uses (unique to the software and took months of
work to enter) is in the NDBM format.
I am therefore looking for a way to obtain perl support for the NDBM
format and corresponding function calls (dbmopen, dbmclose) on a
system that does not natively support them. Any thoughts would be
greatly appreciated!
Alex
