Kindle Legacy Collections Manager on Perl

Do you think we can run this script for Collection Manager? It is declared to work on Kindle 3, but it probably can work on 4NT, DX, also (not on touch screen ones).
It is written for Linux/Mac, but since we have Perl working on Kindle, why not try it?

How does it work (initially designed to be run from a PC):
1) Connect Kindle to PC and put folders with books into %kindle_root%/documents/ ;
2) Run the code:
Code:
./kindle-make-collection /mnt/Kindle
3) Folder names will become Collections' names. Sorting is done by the date the books are edited (collections with newer books on top).


That would be just great if we could do that on Kindle (autorun after USB disconnect? Dreams, dreams..)

Credits for the original script go to Alex Efros aka powerman from the-ebook.org.
