one-line perl version

By the way, did you figure out what the heck is up with mdimport's output streams? It seems to be own of those crazy functions like top that can tell if it's being run in a terminal or redirected to a file or sent on a pipe, and then changes which stream it uses to to write the data. For example if you try to capture it's output using backtics in perl it still writes to the terminal directly, but if to redirect it to a file it does not write to the terminal.
