Just curious why, if you can achieve it in your known comfort zone, you would prefer to accomplish it in an area you're not so comfortable with...and possibly unable to support in the long-term?
Perl is no doubt powerful but it can be a bugbear to support if you leverage it using someone else's snippet, without a firm grasp of what it's doing for you. Additionally, it would make scaling that much more difficult. Are you sure you'd prefer this approach?
Silly me...homework, ha!

mkzonedb
MKZONEDB(8) Linux System Administration MKZONEDB(8)
NAME
mkzonedb - Utility create a zone file for isdnlog
SYNOPSIS
mkzonedb -r zonefile -d database [-v] [-V] [-o Oz] [-l len]
DESCRIPTION
mkzonedb reads a text file with zone (area code) information, and writes it in a special format to the database file so that other apps
such as isdnlog can easily access the data.
This data is used to determine in what "zone" a given area code is in relation to another, to see what rate applies to a call between these
area codes ("is the call a local call").
This utility is really only used during the building of the isdnlog-data package, but it may be useful for those who want to create their
own custom tables.
OPTIONS
-r zonefile
the text file with the zone information. Use "-" for standard input.
-d database
the output database filename
-v verbose mode
-V show version information, and quit (don't do anything)
-o Oz Use "Oz" area zone. Default is 1. (What does this mean, exactly?)
-l len "len" is the length of areacodes.
If 5 or more is given, then more space is allocated for the internal tables (40000 instead of 10000 numbers allowed). Other values
aren't really used.
