Hello, Lorenzo Cappelletti! Thanks for uploading your works to CPAN.

I noticed that the test suite seem to fail without these modules:

Palm::PDB
Palm::Raw

As such, adding the prerequisite module(s) to 'PREREQ_PM' in your
Makefile.PL should solve this problem.  For example:

WriteMakefile(
    AUTHOR      => 'Lorenzo Cappelletti (lorenzo.cappelletti@email.it)',
    ... # other information
    PREREQ_PM   => {
	'Palm::PDB'	=> '0', # or a minimum workable version
	'Palm::Raw'	=> '0', # or a minimum workable version
    }
);

If you are interested in making a more flexible Makefile.PL that can
probe for missing dependencies and install them, ExtUtils::AutoInstall
at <http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-AutoInstall/> may be
worth a look.

Thanks! :-)
