You can have an approximation with thedashrule
package.

hdashrule
is only an approximation because the dots are little squares, but you can easily do what you need with TikZ.
I have created two commands, dhorline
(for horizontal rules) and dvertline
(for vertical ones), with the same syntax as rule
, where the dots are actual dots.
Here some examples:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{dashrule}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
newcommand{dhorline}[3][0]{%
tikz[baseline]{path[decoration={markings,
mark=between positions 0 and 1 step 2*#3
with {node[fill, circle, minimum width=#3, inner sep=0pt, anchor=south west] {};}},postaction={decorate}] (0,#1) -- ++(#2,0);}}
newcommand{dvertline}[3][0]{%
tikz[baseline]{path[decoration={markings,
mark=between positions 0 and 1 step 2*#2
with {node[fill, circle, minimum width=#2, inner sep=0pt, anchor=south west] {};}},postaction={decorate}] (0, #1) -- ++(0,#3);}}
begin{document}
With verb|rule{10em}{4pt}| rule{10em}{4pt}
With verb|hdashrule{10em}{4pt}{4pt}|
hdashrule{10em}{4pt}{4pt}
With verb|dhorline{10em}{4pt}| dhorline{10em}{4pt}
vspace{4pt}
With verb|rule[-4ex]{40pt}{1em}| rule[-4ex]{40pt}{1em}
vspace{4pt}
With verb|dhorline[-4ex]{40pt}{1em}| dhorline[-4ex]{40pt}{1em}
With verb|rule{4pt}{10em}| rule{4pt}{10em}
with verb|dvertline{4pt}{10em}|
dvertline{4pt}{10em}
vspace{4pt}
With verb|rule[3ex]{4pt}{10em}| rule[3ex]{4pt}{10em}
with verb|dvertline[3ex]{4pt}{10em}|
dvertline[3ex]{4pt}{10em}
