%description
MARC.pm is a Perl 5 module for reading in, manipulating, and outputting 
bibliographic records in the USMARC format. Since it is a Perl module 
you use MARC.pm from one of your own Perl scripts. To see what sorts of 
conversions are possible you can try out a web interface to MARC.pm which 
will allow you to upload MARC files and retrieve the results (for details 
see the section below entitled "Web Interface").

However, to get the full functionality you will probably want to install 
MARC.pm on your server or PC. MARC.pm can handle both single and batches 
of MARC records. The limit on the number of records in a batch is 
determined by the memory capacity of the machine you are running. If memory 
is an issue for you MARC.pm will allow you to read in records from a batch 
gradually. MARC.pm also includes a variety of tools for searching, removing, 
and even creating records from scratch.

Types of Conversions:

* MARC -> ASCII : separates the MARC fields out into separate lines
    * MARC <-> MARCMaker : The MARCMaker format is a format that was developed 
      by the Library of Congress for use with their DOS based MARCMaker and 
      MARCBreaker utilities. This format is particularly useful for making 
      global changes (ie. with a text editor's search and replace) and then 
      converting back to MARC (MARC.pm will read properly formatted MARCMaker 
      records). 
      For more information about the MARCMaker format 
      see http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/marcsoft.html
    * MARC -> HTML : The MARC to HTML conversion creates an HTML file from the 
      fields and field labels that you supply. You could possibly use this to 
      create HTML bibliographies from a batch of MARC records.
    * MARC <-> XML : XML support is handled by MARC::XML which is a subclass 
      of MARC.pm and is also available for download from the CPAN.
    * MARC -> URLS : This conversion will extract URLs from a batch of MARC 
      records. The URLs are found in the 856 field, subfield u. The HTML page 
      that is generated can then be used with link-checking software to determine 
      which URLs need to be repaired. Hopefully library system vendors will soon 
      support this activity soon and make this conversion unecessary!
