This approach is in principle viable though. We just need a Perl on Windows "expert" to get us started.
What was missing in the explosion? I think I added a flag to fix the links. In the raw explosion the filepos tags are there. I am very interested in fixing the scripts so it works well.

And if anybody tells me if something need to be fixed for it working under Windows I will fix it.

Since author information is meta informaion in the MOBI header is trivial to fix a script that just add author or other meta information. I will try to fix such a script tomorrow. I think it is easy to convert from version 3 and 4 if needed also.
