bibkeys is a simple program to print out the keys of one or more BibTeX files.
It takes a list of filenames as arguments; if none are provided, it globs the
current directory for .bib files.
Print a help message and exit
Output to columns, auto-formatted to terminal width. Requires Array::Columnize; this option will be ignored if this module isn't installed. This option is the default.
Suppress columnized output; print one key per line.
0 on success, 1 if no bib files could be found.
This has a soft dependency on Array::Columnize. If you want output in
columns, formatted to your terminal width, you need it. If the module can't be
found, the program does the easy thing and defaults to single-column output
(as if you'd passed --nocolumns on the command line.

Probably lots. This program is written to scratch an itch of mine, and does things in the dumbest way possible that still works for my needs. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it didn't work on Windows.
