looks nice! I just tryed it, but had some problems with a non existing M3
field. Do I understand right that you use the field M3 to distinguish
between inbook and inproceeding, that is, you just write in this field
"inbook" or "inproceeding" ? (that's what I did and it then worked fine) 
This is important since I will do soon the import of a lot of
inproceedings and inbooks references... 

The main drawback is that the refdbib doesn't produce ris output format. 

Markus said he wants to improve the bibtex output, maybe the easiest way
would be to allow refdbib to output RIS format (the fact that refdbib
gets the citation keys out of the .aux file is for me a very great feature)
and the interface the output with your perl script. I think the
advantadge of suc a solution would that it would be easier for users to
customize the perl script to retrive exactly the .bib file they inserted
in the database, including all their customised fields.
