I was wondering if there is anyone from the MARC::Record team on this list who possibly could give some insight in the following matter.
We are using MARC::Record to manipulate MARC records in Emilda [1] and we have been running into some unexpected problems. The actual manipulation code has not been altered lately, but people were reporting that MARC manipulation was behaving weird when testing Emilda. As such we had to look into the matter, and found out that there indeed was something weird going on, at least with some certain setups.
I managed to reproduce the error (I'm not quite sure if it is because of MARC::Record, but since it is MARC::Record that reports the error, I'm assuming it is) and added some debugging information to the code to see what is happening.
Here is a snipplet from the code, that displays the debugging information:
<<<<
print "RAW: ".$self->{'MARC_blob'}."\n";
$record = MARC::Record::new_from_usmarc($self->{'MARC_blob'}) or die $!;
print "RES: ".$record->as_formatted()."\n";
print "WARN: ".join("\n", $record->warnings())."\n";>>>>
and what this outputs is:

"RAW" is the original MARC record to be manipulated and thus imported using new_from_usmarc(), but this seems to fail for some reason that is not apparent, at least to me.
Any help on the matter is deeply appreciated as I really cannot make anything of this, as it was working on my setup, but not on various other peoples setups.
