Now the tricky part, for some reason the module doesn't even install on my colleagues system. I saw my runtime drop drastically with the new module without doing any additional optimizations. And to be honest, it works great on my system. After mirod suggested that I use XML::LibXML instead, I implemented it. On the other hand you install or have a lot of programs on your computer that works on non executable code so it should not be an issue.I answered a question on SO a while back where I initially suggested using XML::DOM. But if you want to be able to do extensions yourself or help to find bugs you need the development environment. To a page where you can choose ActivePerl which is free.īut I totally undestand that having executables is much better and will try to fix that. Unfortunately the webb site is a bit confusing and I understand why you did not find the free version. There are versions that cost money but the basic version is free. So, as nice as your mobitools appear to be, I won't be using them until they are turned into true executable apps.ĪctivePerl does not cost money. Been There, Done That, Ain't Gonna Do It Again! I done paid enough money when I paid HP and Microsoft for my computer system. And ActivePerl costs *money*! What?!? I've got to pay money to a *THIRD* party in order to run your apps? Hunh-unh! If I'm going to pay money, it should go to you. I guess the one big problem I have with these tools is that I've got to put Yet Another Stupid Scripting Tool onto my system just to get it to run. Since there is no specification available for the MOBI header this program might generate books that are not entirely correct. Just running the program on a mobifile without any flags will print some information about the file. If there are no other images in the file then the added image will be used as cover image and thumb nail image for Gen3. It is possible to add an image to the file. You can also add a prefix to a title in a MobiPocket file. It can also add author information to a PalmDOC file by converting it to a MobiPocket file and set the author meta information. It can also automatically convert a PalmDOC file to a MobiPocket file and set the title. This program can change the extended title for a MobiPocket file. The other format is MobiPocket and it has a MOBI header and some additional data where you can store meta information and an extended title. For this format you cannot store meta information in the header. One is a PalmDOC file which does not have a MOBI header but can contain HTML code marked up with MobiPocket specific markup and it can be read by a MobiPocket reader. There are two kind of prc files used for electronic books. Author and title can be set and a cover image (thumb nail image for Gen3) can be added. Here is the description of the program:Ī program to manipulate MobiPocket files. Since a lot of people have mentioned that it would be useful to be able to manipulate meta data and to add cover image to a prc or mobi file I wrote mobi2mobi. I am also planning to write a mobi2opf program that explodes a MobiPocket file and tries to create an OPF structure. Can for example be used to change the title.
