You could add the accounts to your SQL database manually using dbimon or
similar.

You could allow periods in usernames.  Data for a particular table is
untainted in sub check of FS/table_name.pm.  In this case, you would
change:

  my $ulen =$self->dbdef_table->column('username')->length;
  $recref->{username} =~ /^([a-z0-9_\-]{2,$ulen})$/
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    or return "Illegal username";
  $recref->{username} = $1;
  $recref->{username} =~ /[a-z]/ or return "Illegal username";

to

/^([a-z0-9_\-\.]{2,$ulen})$/
             ^^
