I was trying out Netscape::Bookmarks and I can't get it to do much.. I made uber sure that I didn't have an empty bookmarks file.

Does anyone have any suggestions other then trying Bookmarks::Parser? I kinda wanted to use Netscape::Bookmarks, it was written by brian d foy (smiley here)

A test script.. Maybe someone can try this out see if it works for them?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Netscape::Bookmarks;
use Smart::Comments '###';

my $abs_bookmarks = '/home/myself/bookmarks.html'; 

my $b = Netscape::Bookmarks->new($abs_bookmarks);
### $b
## maybe thingy should have something in it?

my $categories = $b->categories;
### $categories

my $elements = $b->elements;
### $elements

my $as_string = $b->as_string;
### $as_string
## prints virgin bookmarks file

update

Ended up using Bookmarks::Parser Which really was a pain in the ass for me with the deps. Had to force install WWW::Mechanize on a FC4 i386 machine... etc.
