✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Image::...ol::Palm(3) 💖 — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it does exactly one iconic thing: it Reads Palm Database files. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ngl this one's short and sweet, no cap:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

literally that's the entire synopsis. she's not a module you call up directly, she's a supporting character in the Image::ExifTool cinematic universe. main character energy? no. essential cast member? absolutely. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — this module is absolutely packed with code whose whole job is to extract metadata from a bunch of file types. and not just any file types, okay, we're talking:

  • Palm database files — with the PDB and PRC extensions 📁
  • Mobipocket electronic books — aka MOBI 📚
  • Amazon Kindle KF7 and KF8 books — aka AZW and AZW3 👑

the way it just pulls metadata out of all of them?? obsessed. it's giving "I read every ebook format so you don't have to" and honestly we love that for us. 💜
