Hi All, The basis for this message is to get a feeling whether or not I should submit a module that will do NACO normalization (http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/normrule.html) to CPAN.
As part of a previous project I was importing MARC records into an RDBMS structure. In order to facilitate better searching, it was suggested to me that I do some normalization on my data and that NACO normalization would be a good choice for guidelines. So, away I went and came back with normalize() sub which does the trick. I now wonder if this code would have greater utility as a module on CPAN. And if I do decide to upload it to CPAN, perhaps a base class (Text::Normalize) should be created to which NACO normalization could be added as a subclass. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
