* INSTALLING:

This is pretty standard:

	- Run "perl Makefile.PL" to create the Makefile.
	- Run "make" to build everything.
	- Run "make install" to install the package.

Easy, huh?

* DOCUMENTATION:

All documentation is in the form of PODs embedded in the module
files themselves. Use pod2text Palm/PDB.pm to read the
documentation for Palm::PDB. You'll want to start with Palm::PDB,
then Palm::Raw, then the others.
