Re: MARC::Record and pack_008

cleaner and easier to use than the older modules (and more flexible too because programmers aren't boxed in by bib-specific methods). Besides, having to construct my own dates in 008 is a good excuse to use the always-enjoyable Date::Calc module =8^) Mark Mark Jordan Acting Coordinator of Library
