Beginning to use perl to parse MARC records, and thinking about the different types of MARC records.
I think that having various derived classes of MARC records.
Holding, Bib Records, Name Authority, etc would be useful.
I am not quite sure of a good way of reading in the records and returning the correct type. My initial thought is to over-ride the next method on file, to examine the record, and return a record of the correct derived type, instead of MARC.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts. Rick Silterra
