All:

Does anyonw know of a simple compiler/decompiler that will take a 
comma-delimited data file and a metadata file describing database format 
and compile them into a standard PalmOS-format .PDB file, and vice-versa?

Preferably for Linux, or source code available?

(I'd like to avoid writing one using p5-palm.pl if possible...)
