Export Safari bookmarks to XBEL

For accessing my Safari Bookmarks while on the road, I have a little web application running which makes use of the ever more popular XBEL format. So here's my little Perl script to convert Safari's Bookmarks into XBEL format. In addition, it offers to compile a description from the pages' contents (time intensive).

This is a hack from my prior Omniweb 2 XBEL Converter script. Current drawback is a complete reversal of the order of the Bookmarks structure. I was too lazy to care. Hope it is as useful to someone as it is to me. Use at your own risk as usual.

[robg adds: I have also mirrored the script on the macosxhints' download site: safari2xbel.001.sh.]
