Haven't used Matlab in years, and quick search on the web failed to
uncover any such utilities.

Two suggestions: try Octave, a free analysis package similar to Matlab, or
try to set up a shell-accessible script that invokes Matlab, loads the mat
file, displays the variables of interest to stdout, and quits.  Then use
Perl to invoke that command and operate on the output.
