Palm::ListDB::Writer

Palm::ListDB::Writer is a module that easily constructs databases for the Palm utility List. List is written by Andrew Low (roo@magma.ca, http://www.magma.ca/~roo).

An utility program csv2lsdb is included that can generate List DBs from comma-separated value files (CSVs).

See http://www.magma.ca/~roo for more information on the List utility.

This module is not based on L<Palm::PDB> or L<Palm::ListDB>.

Advantages of Palm::ListDB::Writer over Palm::ListDB:

• Easy to use
• Automatic maintenance of categories, adding them on the fly if you want
• Controlled flexibility in truncating data that is too long
