That's a nice collection of Perl modules for manipulating PDBs/PRCs.

What conduits?  I haven't found any coldsync conduits in
p5-Palm-1.2.4.tar.gz.  And I haven't noticed any general-purpose
conduits in coldsync distribution that could use p5-Palm modules to
perform alterations specified via headers.  Did I miss something?  Or
are you suggesting that I can write my own conduits easily using p5-Palm
modules?  (I'll probably do that if I don't find anything already done
-- you know, not reinventing the wheel; lazyness is one of the great
programmer's virtues; etc. ;-)

The most convenient (for me) way to alter data is to edit a text file
with VIM.  I'm not hackish enough to write one-time conduits in Perl
just to change a couple of telephone numbers in the address book. ;)
