So, the thing is, can I do this with mobiperl? I could run mobi2html, modify the html and then html2mobi, but how would I ensure that all the extra information is not altered?
I do not think this is easily possible with MobiPerl now (I added a ticket for it but I will probably not have time to work on MobiPerl until September...). What you can do now is run mobi2mobi to get the Meta information and then give the correct flags to html2mobi. Maybe this is what the GUI do so maybe the Windows GUI do nearly what you want to do.
