Hi Jane,
These answers assume that the data you are processing:
1) is encoded in the MARC-8 character set, and
2) consists of the MARC-8 default basic and extended Latin characters.

Hi Jason,
I believe that MARC::Charset only does MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion and vice
versa, so won't be a solution for automating your Latin-1 to MARC-8 conversion,
unless you were planning to do Latin-1=UTF-8=MARC-8.
A few years ago, I wrote an imperfect MARC-8 to Latin-1 character set

I'm trying to create MARC records from serials data exported

Hi Henri,
Is there a reason why MARC::File::XML considers only a very
strict subset of utf-8 as valid ?
I would guess that it has to do with adhering to the MARC-21 repertoire of
characters, so as to facilitate the round-trip conversion between the MARC-8
and Unicode character sets [1,2].
