How do I read a database file from the 90's in the format "Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)"?

I've tried the berkeley-db package from Mac homebrew and db-util on Debian. They both fail to read the metadata.

#db #database #ComputerArchaeology #berkeley #bdb

@gdinwiddie Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, it's from a web forum system called WWWThreads v2.7.4 written in Perl.

If I recall correctly, it stopped working in an upgrade of glibc. And I think it had something to do with the endianness of the format changed.
