running mobi2mobi (cmd or GUI)

[scotchirish]

I've glanced a bit but didn't see a related post so I hope this isn't a frequent thing. I've been trying to run mobi2mobi on Windows 7 to fix some titles of books on my kindle.

When I run mobi2mobi.exe I get this:
MobiPerl/MobiHeader.pm did not return a true value at script/mobi2mobi line 53.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/mobi2mobi line 53.

and when I run the GUI I get an error saying "Index was outside the bounds of the array"

As far as I can tell I have everything loaded on my computer, I've run ActivePerl to get the PPM from which I've installed P5-Palm, Getopt-Mixed, TimeDate, and one other that I can't recall.

I've seen similar but not identical issues in the past. If you've got ActivePerl installed, try using the perl version of mobi2mobi rather than the pre-compiled exe. It works better on my system (and you have can use it with the GUI exe).

I think there is a

1;

or something like this missing at the end of MobiPerl/MobiHeader.pm. Perl wants .pm's to return a "true" value. Perhaps you are using an other verion of Perl than the author?

Edit: Or perhaps this MobiPerl/MobiHeader.pm was corrupted during the download.
