This is p5-Palm, a set of Perl 5 modules for reading, manipulating, and writing the .pdb and .prc database files used by PalmOS devices such as the PalmPilot and its successors.

Easy, huh? * DOCUMENTATION: All documentation is in the form of PODs embedded in the module files themselves. Use pod2text Palm/PDB.pm to read the documentation for Palm::PDB. You'll want to start with Palm::PDB, then Palm::Raw, then the others. * FEEDBACK: If you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, patches, etc., please send mail to the maintainer, Andrew Arensburger, at .
