Could you send the program as an attachment to me Chistoffer? I'm not
confident that the MARC will have survived translation into the body of 
your email message.

Thanks!

 If it is in accordance with a special MARC flavour, then maybe MARC::Record 
 should do something to meet this need? But, we do not know that yet.

Yeah, we could have new_from_xxx() for a different MARC flavors I suppose. 

It might also be nice to be able to:

$MARC::RECORD::STRICT = undef;
$MARC::RECORD::WARNINGS = undef;

Which would have the same effects as:

$batch-strict_off();
$batch-warnings_off();

Which would allow for calls to new_from_usmarc() without bailing when something
looks fishy...for advanced users only :)

But it would be even nicer to know exactly what's going on here first.
