Help required to update Phonebook plugin

[skind56]

Hi

The PhoneBook plugin hasn't been updated for v7 so I thought I would give it a try. I cannot get the lines from the phonebook text file to appear on the screen although I know it is reading thru the file. I've attached the plugin with my updates. I'm really not sure what is Perl and what is required for SqueezeCenter to act on. Things like '$client->update();' are a mystery as I don't know what is happening in the background. Basically I'm confused!
Any help would be appreciated. Look out for the code I've added/changed as it may well be incorrect!!

Thanks
Steve
