Palm::Address - Handler for Palm AddressBook databases

SYNOPSIS

Top

    use Palm::Address;

DESCRIPTION

Top

The Address PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It parses AddressBook databases.

AppInfo block

The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See Palm::StdAppInfo for details.

Other fields include:

    $pdb->{appinfo}{lastUniqueID}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{dirtyFields}

I don't know what these are.

    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{name}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{firstName}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{company}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone1}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone2}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone3}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone4}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone5}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone6}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone7}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{phone8}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{address}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{city}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{state}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{zipCode}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{country}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{title}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{custom1}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{custom2}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{custom3}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{custom4}
    $pdb->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{note}

These are the names of the various fields in the address record.

    $pdb->{appinfo}{country}

An integer: the code for the country for which these labels were designed. The country name is available as

        $Palm::Address::countries[$pdb->{appinfo}{country}];

    $pdb->{appinfo}{misc}

An integer. The least-significant bit is a flag that indicates whether the database should be sorted by company. The other bits are reserved.

Sort block

    $pdb->{sort}

This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.

Records

    $record = $pdb->{records}[N];

    $record->{fields}{name}
    $record->{fields}{firstName}
    $record->{fields}{company}
    $record->{fields}{phone1}
    $record->{fields}{phone2}
    $record->{fields}{phone3}
    $record->{fields}{phone4}
    $record->{fields}{phone5}
    $record->{fields}{address}
    $record->{fields}{city}
    $record->{fields}{state}
    $record->{fields}{zipCode}
    $record->{fields}{country}
    $record->{fields}{title}
    $record->{fields}{custom1}
    $record->{fields}{custom2}
    $record->{fields}{custom3}
    $record->{fields}{custom4}
    $record->{fields}{note}

These are scalars, the values of the various address book fields.

    $record->{phoneLabel}{phone1}
    $record->{phoneLabel}{phone2}
    $record->{phoneLabel}{phone3}
    $record->{phoneLabel}{phone4}
    $record->{phoneLabel}{phone5}

Most fields in an AddressBook record are straightforward: the "name" field always gives the person's last name.

The "phoneN" fields, on the other hand, can mean different things in different records. There are five such fields in each record, each of which can take on one of eight different values: "Work", "Home", "Fax", "Other", "E-mail", "Main", "Pager" and "Mobile".

The $record->{phoneLabel}{phone*} fields are integers. Each one is an index into @Palm::Address::phoneLabels, and indicates which particular type of phone number each of the $record->{phone*} fields represents.

    $record->{phoneLabel}{display}

Like the phone* fields above, this is an index into @Palm::Address::phoneLabels. It indicates which of the phone* fields to display in the list view.

    $record->{phoneLabel}{reserved}

I don't know what this is.

METHODS

Top

new

  $pdb = new Palm::Address;

Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::Address fields and an empty record list.

Use this method if you're creating an Address PDB from scratch.

new_Record

  $record = $pdb->new_Record;

Creates a new Address record, with blank values for all of the fields. The AppInfo block will contain only an "Unfiled" category, with ID 0.

new_Record does not add the new record to $pdb. For that, you want $pdb->append_Record.

BUGS

Top

The new() method initializes the AppInfo block with English labels and "United States" as the country.

# ParseRecord
# Parse an Address Book record.

# Address book records have the following overall structure:
#	1: phone labels
#	2: field map
#	3: fields

# Each record can contain a number of fields, such as "name",
# "address", "city", "company", and so forth. Each field has an
# internal name ("zipCode"), a printable name ("Zip Code"), and a
# value ("90210").
#
# For most fields, there is a hard mapping between internal and
# printed names: "name" always corresponds to "Last Name". The fields
# "phone1" through "phone5" are different: each of these can be mapped
# to one of several printed names: "Work", "Home", "Fax", "Other",
# "E-Mail", "Main", "Pager" or "Mobile". Multiple internal names can
# map to the same printed name (a person might have several e-mail
# addresses), and the mapping is part of the record (i.e., each record
# has its own mapping).
#
# Part (3) is simply a series of NUL-terminated strings, giving the
# values of the various fields in the record, in a certain order. If a
# record does not have a given field, there is no string corresponding
# to it in this part.
#
# Part (2) is a bit field that specifies which fields the record
# contains.
#
# Part (1) determines the phone mapping described above. This is
# implemented as an unsigned long, but what we're interested in are
# the six least-significant nybbles. They are:
#	disp	phone5	phone4	phone3	phone2	phone1
# ("phone1" is the least-significant nybble). Each nybble holds a
# value in the range 0-15 which in turn specifies the printed name for
# that particular internal name.
