Nice,
But what is the best way to deal with all those broken UTF8 encodings we
encounter over and over again when importing MARC records from outer space?
As it is now the application dies with something like
'utf8 "\xXX" does not map to Unicode at C:/Perl/lib/Encode.pm line 166.'
The problem seems to lie in MARC::File::Encode
sub marc_to_utf8 {
# if there is invalid utf8 date then this will through an exception
# let's just hope it's valid :-)
return decode( 'UTF-8', $_[0], 1 );
}
Is it possible to introduce a "sloppy mode" switch?

Give it a go, and let me know if you see anything broken. Sorry for the delay!
