Back to koha, and back to Perl suff. We are just planning our upgrade to 3.4 and face the problem that our install base (+30 libraries/koha deploys and growing) has several enconding (and posibly other) problems carried from the initial migration from different sources and encodings. Those problems obviously arise now that we have to access all the records to remove holdings information from them, and running remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl waiting for it to fail and discover "where" it failed is not suitable for us. So... I managed to get a script to tell me which records are "problematic" in the sense koha defines problematic. I'd like some other dev to take a look at it to check it. It can be obviously beautified and improved.
