This is Palm-Zetetic-Strip, a set of Perl 5 modules for reading Palm database (PDB) files containing data from the Strip application from Zetetic. Currently only read-only access is provided to the PDB files. Versions 0.5i and 1.0 of Strip are supported. Strip may be found here:

Preqeuisites

In addition to this module and Strip installed on your Palm, you will need the following modules, all of which may be found on CPAN.

1. p5-Palm (Palm::PDB)

   Required to read the PDB files.

2. Crypt::IDEA
3. Digest::MD5

   Only required to decrypt Strip v0.5i databases. If you have no need to decrypt v0.5i databases, you need not install these modules.

4. Crypt::Rijndael
5. Digest::SHA256

   Only required to decrypt Strip v1.0 databases. If you have no need to decrypt v1.0 databases, you need not install these modules.

Installing

Once you have all the prequisites installed, just follow these instructions:

1. perl Makefile.PL
2. make
3. make test
4. make install

Exmaple Script

An example script to dump a Strip database is included called "strip.pl". It takes one argument which is a directory containing the three Strip PDB files:

StripPassword-SJLO.pdb
StripSystems-SJLO.pdb
StripAccounts-SJLO.pdb

It will then prompt you for your Strip password. If correct, it will dump the contents of the databases to standard output. For example:

% strip_dump t/data/v1.0/
