What you describe seems to be what MARC::Lint does. MARC::Errorchecks is more of a check of the record data against AACR2 cataloging rules (and LCRIs), in addition to MARC21 rules, just as MARC::Lintadditions does. The difference between the two is that Errorchecks is able to cross field boundaries (for example comparing codes in the 008 vs. the 300 subfields), while Lint and Lintadditions seem to be limited to single-field checking.
