I don't understand what I am doing wrong, but i must be misusing either
MARC::Record,
or perl's utf-8 support:
I fetch an xml record from oclc worldcat, and turn it into a MARC::Record,
then output it as
perl 5.10.0 --
linux/ ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic-pae #56-Ubuntu SMP
I'm using the world cat apis to fetch an xml record -- when I just run that
from php.
data is just fine: utf-8 properly encoded, so the code point A9 (copyright
symbol)
is C2 A9
however, when I use: LWP, and 'get',
like this:
$URL = "
http://www.worldcat.org/webservices/catalog/content/$onum?servicelevel=full&wskey=$WSKEY
";
$xml_text = get $URL;
and I print xml_text, the copyright symbol is now just 0xA9, so when I do a
new MARC::Record->new_from_xml($xml_text);
I find myself with a xml record with an iso-latin1 copyright symbol.
I think the string is being treated as a iso-latin1 string, and transcoded,
and then
i end up with an invalid marc record.
