Palm-PDB version 1.400, released March 7, 2015
This distribution contains Palm::PDB and Palm::Raw, a pair 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.
These 2 modules were historically part of the p5-Palm distribution,
which is now just called Palm. They have been split off into their
own distribution because they are also useful for manipulating the
Mobipocket e-book format, which is also used for Amazon Kindle books.
INSTALLATION
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CHANGES
Here's what's new in version 1.400 of Palm-PDB:
(See the file "Changes" for the full revision history.)
- Bump version number to be greater than all previous releases.
Palm::PDB 1.36 was released in p5-Palm 1.008, but p5-Palm 1.009
contained Palm::PDB 1.009. Version numbers shouldn't go backwards.
