Although it's not a Perl soultion, here's a link which might give you
just
what you need:

Hmm - I'm a little hesitant to use that (or a perl equivalent), as it
doesn't seem like it handles any of the complexities of the vCard
format.
For what it's worth, that looks like a better solution than running palm
desktop...
Add a little perl voodoo and you've got a pretty solid tool.

The only way to do it reliably is to use "Address Book Importer"

Yeah, that's probably a good way to go. Perhaps I should just
synchronize directly from Palm Desktop to Address Book, rather than

Unless you mean syncrhronize Palm with your PDA, then switch over to
Apple Address Book and sync again with Address Book -- I don't know
what you mean. There's no script that "syncs" Address Book to Palm
desktop that I know of. If anyone knows of such a script please send
info my way.
If you use this method (described above) be prepared to loose your
categories and kiss any custom fields goodbye.
If you do the vCard export built into Palm Card, you should know that
the categories inconsistently show up in the "Notes" field in Address
Book -- if you have no categories this won't be an issue for you.
Also, say goodbye to your "Nickname" field (again, may not be an
issue for you).
The utility above is the surest bet, and best of all it's freeware.
