Palm::Contacts - Handler for Palm OS 5 Contacts databases
This document describes version 1.400 of Palm::Contacts, released March 14, 2015 as part of Palm version 1.400.
use Palm::Contacts;
The Address PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It parses AddressBook databases.
The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See LPalm::StdAppInfo for details.
Other fields include:
$pdb->{appinfo}{lastUniqueID}
$pdb->{appinfo}{dirtyFields}
I don't know what these are.

$self->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{note}
$self->{appinfo}{fieldLabels}{birthday}
These are the names of the various fields in the record.
$pdb->{appinfo}{misc}
This is contains the remaining text labels after the standard contact labels. These seems to be resource used for some default records
$pdb->{sort}
This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.
$record = $pdb->{records}[N];
All records are available in an array use Dumper() to investigate the record structure
print Dumper($record);
Labels for phone, IM as well as address are automatically converted in the PDB. The presented labels in $record is therefore the text label and not the actual integer that is records in the PDB.
$pdb = new Palm::Contacts;
Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::Address fields and an empty record list.
Use this method if you're creating an Address PDB from scratch.
$record = $pdb->new_Record;
Creates a new Address record, with blank values for all of the fields. The AppInfo block will contain only an "Unfiled" category, with ID 0.
new_Record does not add the new record to $pdb. For that,
you want append_Record.
Palm::PDB
Palm::StdAppInfo
Palm::Address requires no configuration files or environment variables.
None reported.
Module doesn't support setting everything in the Contacts DB. It also doesn't handle Photos
