Split text files for iPod Notes usage via Perl
Authored by: windrag on Jul 22, '08 08:30:27PM
OK, so I figured out the problem (the command perl is what runs the script, like this:

perl ./makenotes.pl colourofmagic.txt

Probably obvious to most, but I'm not a regular perl user. So, I got it to work, but I'm used to using UTF-8 text files, and this script returns a bunch of improperly translated characters. I changed my text file encoding to Western (Mac OS Roman) and the output looks great, except that the first page is just one character. Anyway, thanks again!
