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

In Perl... using the handy MARC::Charset module (tip 'o the hat to Ed

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

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
