NAME

       Palm - Palm OS utility functions

VERSION

       This document describes version 1.400 of Palm, released March 14, 2015 as part of Palm
       version 1.400.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

   palm2epoch
               my @parts = localtime( palm2epoch($palmtime) );

       Converts a Palm OS timestamp to a Unix Epoch time. Note, however, that Palm OS time is in
       the timezone of the Palm itself while Epoch is defined to be in the GMT timezone. Further
       conversion may be necessary.

   epoch2palm
               my $palmtime = epoch2palm( time() );

       Converts Unix epoch time to Palm OS time.

   mkpdbname
               $PDB->Write( mkpdbname($PDB->{name}) );

       Convert a Palm OS database name to a 7-bit ASCII representation. Native Palm database
       names can be found in ISO-8859-1 encoding. This encoding isn't going to generate the most
       portable of filenames and, in particular, ColdSync databases use this representation.
