This is bp, a Perl Bibliography Package, by Dana Jacobsen (dana@acm.org). ... The package will let you write programs that handle bibliography parsing in a generic fashion for multiple bibliography types. ... It also allows conversion between formats and character sets. It is extendable, meaning that you can write your own routines, so to recognize your format "foo" all you have to do is write your "foo" code that reads, writes, and converts to and from the package's canonical format. ...
