Good timing :-) I was about to start looking at doing some MARC field validation stuff, once I get some other stuff worked out for Tk::MARC.
On that note - anyone on the list have access to a Sun(SPARC)/Solaris box, and willing to run a test script for me? Apparently one of the new Tk::MARC tests fails (I should add a Thanks! to any CPAN-Testers out there), and I'd love to get it resolved :-) -David On Tuesday 20 January 2004 08:26 am, Bryan Baldus wrote: > As you may recall, I am a cataloger with limited programming experience, > and I have been teaching myself Perl, using the MARC::Record modules.
