I tried it on my WinXP box with Strawberry Perl 5.10.1, MARC::Record 2.0.0 and Encode 2.40 with the script you listed against the file you mentioned. I got the MARC record output correctly, didn't get any error. I did get these errors while working with legacy data, and found that setting the output to binmode utf8 solves the problem. In cases it doesn't, I do a round-trip conversion using MARCEdit, which solves any remaining issues and saves lot of time. Saiful Amin +91-9343826438
