Me again <g>. I've started going through the ::Tutorial, with
an eye to adding, updating, and revising things. So far:

 * corrected some spelling and punctuation errors.

 * replaced "listserv" with "mailing list". Listserv is a
   copyrighted product name, and I've been C&D'd before.

 * Added MARC::Lint to the list of modules installed with MARC::Record.

Which brings me to my first question: why
isn't MARC::File::XML installed with it?

Next up, I've been using the camel.usmarc file as the "file.dat"
equivalent in all the examples. When I ran the first example, I got:

  ActivePerl with ASP and ADO / Tobias Martinsson.
  ...
  Cross-platform Perl / Eric F. Johnson.

which confused me. Is the "title" of a book always considered the title AND
author? Or is the "author" and "statement of responsibility" the .. . .
same thing? Does $a always end in a slash if $b doesn't exist? What if $a,
$h, $p, $b, and $c are all used? Is that order (per the LC UMB doc) the
method they should be strung together, separated by slashes? Is the ending
period, generated by MARC::Batch an AACR thingy, or just convention?
