I have looked at Bundle::Convert::BER and I think it only converts
ASN.1 TO and FROM its binary format.  I had heard that there was a 
Perl ASN.1 module in the works from NCBI within the SEALS project

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Walker/SEALS/

Haven't heard of a finished product though.  Please post if you have 
good news.
