thanks for the quick reply. is there a way to get the mobiperl tools?

I have a vague recollection that they're available through the usual Perl distributions, but it's been a long time since I tried them. Perhaps someone with more recent knowledge will be along shortly.

But perhaps you're asking the wrong question. What do you want the MobiPerl tools for?

I'm trying to edit some mobi files to add covers/thumbnails to them because they don't show up on my ios kindle app and I would also like to get sync working between ios and kindle. (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...oks_on_Windows)

Ok. I suggest starting a new thread to ask the best way to currently do that, since I think the wiki may be a bit out of date on this issue.

I'm also wondering where the actual mobiperl script files are located and able to be downloaded. Every site I've seen on Google just links back to the same dead link on the wiki. I can't find anywhere that is actually hosting the files.

Why not ask Tompe directly? He wrote the tools. Send him a PM.

There's some alternative links to the mobiperl scripts in the last few posts of the mobiperl stickied thread.
