Hi Michael, this is how I - in principle - usually do it:
use MARC::Record; ... my $record = MARC::Record->new_from_usmarc( $blob ); /Leif Leif Andersson, Systems librarian Stockholm University Library ________________________________________ Från: Doran, Michael D [do...@uta.edu] Skickat: den 7 januari 2011 00:18 Till: perl4lib Ämne: MARC blob to MARC::Record object I am working on a Perl script that retrieves data from our Voyager ILS via an SQL query. Among other data, I have MARC records in blob form, and the script processes one MARC record at a time. I want to be able to parse and modify/convert the MARC record (using MARC::Record) before writing/printing data to a file. How do I make the MARC blob into a MARC::Record object (without having to first save it a file and read it in with MARC::File/Batch)? The MARC blob is already in a variable, so it doesn't make sense (to me) to write it out to a file just so I can read it back in. Unless I have to, natch. I apologize if I am missing something obvious. -- Michael # Michael Doran, Systems Librarian # University of Texas at Arlington # 817-272-5326 office # 817-688-1926 mobile # do...@uta.edu # http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/
