You might look into using something like this:

http://search.cpan.org/~janpaz/DBD-XBase-0.241/lib/XBase.pm

for working with the files. You could load the files using perl, dump from
perl into postgres, do your manipulations, retrieve back into perl from
postgres, and then write the new files. If the manipulations are not too
complex, they might be better done in perl only.
