Check out the Perl module PDA::Pilot that comes with pilot-link. Off the
top of my head (i.e., this probably won't work, but it might come
close):
use PDA::Pilot;
package MyAppinfo;
@ISA=qw(PDA::Pilot::AppBlock);
sub Pack {
return pack($appinfo_template, @appinfo_data);
}
package MyRecord;
@ISA=qw(PDA::Pilot::Record);
sub Pack {
$self = shift;
return pack($record_template, @record_data);
}
package main;
$pdb = PDA::Pilot::File::create("myfile.pdb"
creator => 'CrId',
type => 'type',
name => 'palm-db-name');
$appinfo = new MyAppinfo;
$pdb->setAppBlock($appinfo);
$rec = new MyRecord;
$pdb->addRecord($rec);
The PDA::Pilot docs suck, but then that's what the source is for :-)
