Hello, I'm trying to extract records form my Palm datebook.dat file. It seems that the Palm modules available on CPAN are not compatable with the latest formats.

I have a Tungsten E running Palm OS 5.2.1 and Calendar v1.0.

Running this: 

use strict;
use warnings;

use Palm::Datebook;
use Palm::StdAppInfo;

my $pdb = new Palm::Datebook;
        $pdb->Load("datebook.dat");

my $record = $pdb->{records}[1];

Produces lots of messages like this: 

Record 10734 has same offset as previous one: 65536
Record 10735 has same offset as previous one: 65536
Record 10736 has same offset as previous one: 65536
Record 10753 has same offset as previous one: 0

Thanks,

Peter
