There shouldn't be, but if you run into problems with them you might
consider trying MARC::Loop, which doesn't know or care what the data
inside a MARC record is just as long as the record has the correct
structure (24-byte leader, valid field lengths in the directory, two
bytes of indicators in each data field, etc.).
The interface is totally different from MARC::Record, though, so don't
bother with it unless you can't use MARC::Record for some reason and
(preferrably) you grok things like this:
my ($rec_id) = map { ${ $_->[VALREF] } }
grep { $_->[TAG] eq '001' } @$fields;
