Character encoding is the bane of my existence. I have learned that when
reading from a file I ought to specify the type of encoding the file is in and
decode accordingly, or else. Once read, it is converted
Hi Eric,
In Perl, how do I specify MARC-8 when reading (decoding) and writing
(encoding) data?
You can't. MARC-8 is a character set that is unknown to the operating system.
Your best bet is to convert MARC-8-encoded records into UTF-8.
...it is converted it Perl's
internal encoding
I know yaz-marcdump changes the encoding bit in MARC
leaders. Does it also convert MARC-8 characters to UTF-8?
Yes. We use it for that purpose all the time.

What _ought_ to be easiest of all is getting our ILS's to NEVER export
Marc8 _ever_ again. UTF8 only.
Sadly, that only ought to be easiest.
But IMO there's no reason any of us should be dealing with Marc8 ever
again. The only thing that should deal in Marc8 is an ILS, and should
only input

Hi Jonathan,
I tried to figure out how to custom add a new encoding to ruby 1.9 with
the idea of adding Marc8 as an actuall ruby 1.9 character encoding
supported same as any other built in char encoding
Not a trivial undertaking. Remember that the MARC-8 environment allows

Yeah, but if there's Perl code and Java code to do it, can't be _that_
hard to port to ruby if I could figure out what you need to do to
get first-class char encoding support in ruby 1.9 anyway.
I mean, you could do it just as a library without that... but it's
enough trouble that, yeah,
But I had no idea Marc8 allowed escape sequences to temporarily switch
to a different encoding. Really? Oh my god.
For you young'uns that were born Unicode and are a bit foggy on the MARC-8
environment (and all its... intricacies), I did a short write-up a few years
ago:

Also, I don't know OpenBook to know your source data, but don't forget
a lot of publishers have printed ISBNs in different ways over the past
few years. The regex would choke on any hyphens. If users are

So much duplication. If only there were some sort of organization that might
