Migrating from Unix Perl Forum

I'm trying to salvage topics and members from my board that has no database. Topics are saved as individual text files. I'd like to transfer these to the new board. Can I add them to a database or do I have to create a new topic in the forum and paste the text?

Thank you for your reply.

This is the content of the message file named 1076638119.txt:

user_name|The text of the message goes here|ISP server DNS number for user|e-mail@braggcreek.ca|1076638119|0|||
The large number is the name of the file. I don't know what the rest of it is.

Member profile content in user_name.cgi file. I only need the first three lines:

user_name
password
e-mail@braggcreek.ca
http://webaddress.com
write permission
