Palm(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Palm(3pm)NAME
Palm - Palm OS utility functions
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS
palm2epoch
my @parts = localtime( palm2epoch($palmtime) );
Converts a PalmOS timestamp to a Unix Epoch time. Note, however, that PalmOS time is in the timezone of the Palm itself while Epoch is
defined to be in the GMT timezone. Further conversion may be necessary.
epoch2palm
my $palmtime = epoch2palm( time() );
Converts Unix epoch time to Palm OS time.
mkpdbname
$PDB->Write( mkpdbname($PDB->{name}) );
Convert a PalmOS database name to a 7-bit ASCII representation. Native Palm database names can be found in ISO-8859-1 encoding. This
encoding isn't going to generate the most portable of filenames and, in particular, ColdSync databases use this representation.

ToDo(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation ToDo(3pm)NAME
Palm::ToDo - Handler for Palm ToDo databases.
SYNOPSIS
use Palm::ToDo;
DESCRIPTION
The ToDo PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It parses ToDo databases.
AppInfo block
The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See Palm::StdAppInfo for details.
Other fields include:
$pdb->{appinfo}{dirty_appinfo}
$pdb->{appinfo}{sortOrder}
I don't know what these are.
Sort block
$pdb->{sort}
This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.
Records
$record = $pdb->{records}[N]
$record->{due_day}
$record->{due_month}
$record->{due_year}
The due date of the ToDo item. If the item has no due date, these are undefined.
$record->{completed}
This is defined and true iff the item has been completed.
$record->{priority}
An integer. The priority of the item.
$record->{description}
A text string. The description of the item.
$record->{note}
A text string. The note attached to the item. Undefined if the item has no note.
new
$pdb = new Palm::ToDo;
Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::ToDo fields and an empty record list.
Use this method if you're creating a ToDo PDB from scratch.
new_Record
$record = $pdb->new_Record;
Creates a new ToDo record, with blank values for all of the fields.
"new_Record" does not add the new record to $pdb. For that, you want "$pdb->append_Record".
