Is your organization that pig, I mean you can consider the manual solution 
by searching the ldap for koha and get the information you need

I don't know either about perl but I think that you may add an autherity 
list for the members inside koha but I don't know how you will be able to 
link it to the members field as it's not in the marc structure

what do you think about that?
