Is there a command line tool that would allow me to script creation of accounts on a MediaWiki instance?

The UI for creating an account is painful, and very time consuming when tasked with creating 10+ accounts at a time.

Unfortunately I can't get ImportUsers to work due to the very old version of MediaWiki we use (and upgrading is unfortunately not possible at this time).
