The  format used by LC's MARCMaker/MARCBreaker [1] programs (and by MarcEdit
[2]) was included in the MARC.pm module. I've been considering using that
format and wonder if anyone has translated/updated the MARCMaker-related
methods of MARC.pm into a MARC::File::* compatible module? If not, what
recommendations would you have for someone (like myself) who might be
thinking of creating such a module? It would likely be based on the
MicroLIF.pm and USMARC.pm modules, and would probably use the character
encoding files given on the LC Makrbrkr site. What name would you recommend
using? MARC::File::MakerBreaker, other suggestions?
