Mobiperl is a collection of tools I am writing in Perl for handling MobiPocket files. Since it works OK and I am interested in suggestions for more functionality I start a new thread for it.

The latest version is 0.0.43 and it can be found here: http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompe/mobiperl/downloads/ (updated July 2013)

*original text*

I have not yet tested mobiperl in Windows yet but if nobody else beat me to it I will try to test it during and write down how to use the programs under Windows. As I understand it ActivePerl is very common and it contains PPM that can be used to install packages.

Currently Mobiperl consists of:

MobiHeader.pm: A class file for generating MOBI headers.
html2mobi: Program to convert HTML files or OPF structures to MobiPocket.
mobi2html: Can be used to decode a MobiPocket file to an HTML file. Now mostly useful for debugging.
lit2mobi: Convert a lit file to a MobiPocker file.
mobi2mobi: Manipulate a Mobipocket file. Can for example be used to change the title.

I am also planning to write a mobi2opf program that explodes a MobiPocket file and tries to create an OPF structure.
