p5-Palm version 1.014, released August 2, 2014 This is p5-Palm, a set of Perl 5 modules for reading, manipulating, and writing the .pdb and .prc database files used by Palm OS devices such as the PalmPilot and its successors. You'll also need the Palm::PDB and Palm::Raw modules. They used to be distributed as part of p5-Palm, but were split out into their own distribution because they are also useful for manipulating the Mobipocket e-book format, which is also used for Amazon Kindle books. The modules remaining in p5-Palm are generally useful only if you're dealing with files from actual Palm OS devices. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install CONTRIBUTING The source is in GitHub: https://github.com/madsen/p5-Palm If you have a change, fork the repo, make your patch, and send me a pull request.
