I recently started toying around with Palm::* and ended up hacking this piece of code.
#!/usr/bin/perl use Palm::PDB; use Palm::Memo; use XML::RSS; use LWP::Simple; %Sites = ( "slashdot"=>"http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf", "freshmeat"=>"http://freshmeat.net/backend/fm.rdf", "useperl"=>"http://use.perl.org/useperl.rdf", "devshed"=>"http://www.devshed.com/devshednews.rdf", "securityfocus"=>"http://www.securityfocus.com/topnews-rss.html" "perlnews"=>"http://www.news.perl.org/perl-news.rdf", "segfault"=>"http://segfault.org/stories.xml" ); $site = "useperl"; getstore($Sites{$site},"$site.rdf"); $date = join ("",localtime[3],localtime[5],localtime[5]); $pdb = new Palm::Memo; $pdb->Load("MemoDB.pdb"); $rss = new XML::RSS(version => '1.0'); $rss->parsefile("$site.rdf"); $record = $pdb->new_Record; $record->{data}="$data $site Headlines\n"; foreach $item (@{$rss->{items}}) { $record->{data} .= $item->{title}."\n".$item->{link}."\n"; } push @{$pdb->{records}},$record; $pdb->Write("Memo.pdb");
Syncing the modified memo still seems to be a problem. Ofcourse AvantGo is a perfectly good alternative, but that doesn't come on the less expensive Palms :)
