Hey, Thomas - friend and fellow night owl. This solution is great!! This just goes to show that sometimes it IS better to go to bed and get some sleep than to keep struggling in the wrong direction.
I was so focused on trying to approach it the way that I would with an XSLT stylesheet - sequentially/iteratively - that I hadn't thought to try reading all at once it into an array. Thanks a million!!

It should work to extract the tag in array context: my $dc = $r->metadata(); @their_identifiers = $dc->identifier(); Further concatenation would be left to the application. > That being said, I do have one other question: Is there a way within the > Net::OAI::Harvester to output the actual metadata structure that's being > harvested? There is no mandatory method for any metadata handlers within the context of Net::OAI::Harvester to provide this. And for the default OAI_DC handler: It provides the asString method which at least shows the complete content. hope this helps Thomas Berger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iJwEAQECAAYFAk5DfooACgkQYhMlmJ6W47NKfQP+M448CtRS+FyWHvsNY3efPaHk Ywl8yNJ/NlC0cjyHfjgaJpWB3qPM++Fn2BjnIVcXs9LeHmyc+gVB4BuYBuh6qlBg 0e7FDgA4YftPZz35vIQUjFrNuEkZfImKOTEf6NzlW7q30kTxaDTxt7xndAI+7bAJ e0436AcRTyJIAI2uUv0= =f45u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
