Rockbox

First things first: I’m using Rockbox daily CVS-050627
on an FM Recorder.
HW info gives me this:
ROM: 1.23
Mask: 0×0304 USB: positive
PR: positive
Flash: M=BF D=D6
ROM CRC: 0x222F V1
ATA: 0×200, master

Okay, now to the actual bug.

I have used the songdb.pl and the vorbiscomm.pm (even
though the latter is useless on my FMR) present on the
Wiki along with a current build of ActiveState Perl for
Win32 to build the tag database. While building, it
gives me no errors whatsoever: it steps through the
directory structure in the music folder I’ve pointed it
to, reading each file and writing the data to the
database accordingly. No problems so far.

I then reboot my FMR, with the current daily build
flashed onto it. It reads the database correctly, as
far as I can tell, except for one problem: not all the
artists that should be listed are listed. Instead,
there are several entries at the bottom of the
‘Artists’ list that are listed as a single letter.
Within those entries are more single-letter album
entries, and within those are single-letter song
entries. This same error occurs in both the ‘Albums’ list and the ‘Songs’ list.

I have had this same error since the TagDatabase page
went live on the Wiki. At that time, I was using the
perl.exe and perl58.dll listed on the page, but as the
current songdb.pl uses structs and such, the old
version of Perl will no longer work.

Any help would be much appreciated. Also sympathy from
others who have the same problem. Thanks for all the
help, devs.
