What seems to have happened is that Palm changed the Memo-DB format but it seems they never documented the new format which may explain why nobody incorporated these changes into Palm::Memo.

J-Pilot (though I have not tried it) seems to be able to handle it though - they must have reverse-engineered the format (it may be a nice exercise to use that for updating Palm::Memo)

But for me the workaround is to simply use Palm::Raw, I can live with what I can get with that, eg:

use Palm::PDB;
use Palm::Raw;
use Data::Dumper;

my $pdb = new Palm::PDB;
$pdb->Load("MemosDB-PMem.pdb");

print Dumper($pdb);

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
