fractureMech,
Ok - I was working completely blind there since I don't have a Palm myself. The docs as you have noticed are poor and that is all I had to go on. I will install the module and create a brand new PDB and then work backwards, trying to read my records back in after the fact. I will /msg you when I am complete and update this node.

Cheers - L~R

Update: After messing around I was able to create a PDB without the use of a Palm Pilot and read it back in. I am not sure what your problem is, so I will either need a copy of your PDB, or would need you to execute the following piece of code and tell me what you get: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Palm::PDB;
use Palm::Address;
use Data::Dumper;

my $pdb = new Palm::PDB;
$pdb->Load("myfile.pdb") or die "Unable to attach to address book";

my $record = $pdb->{records}[0];
print Dumper($record);
