With perl support, yes it has. There is nodelist.pl in the binkd package.

At least this bash script strips '[' and ']' so that the output will be like this:

#!/bin/bash
# nl2binkd v1.06
# (c) 2012-2013 by Markus Reschke

# binkd nodelist generated by nl2binkd

Node 2:221/360@fidonet rbb.homeip.net -

This makes binkd fail.
