I'm finishing module for reading CDS/ISIS data and before releasing it to CPAN I would appreciate peer review from perl4lib subscribers.
It's perl-only module (as opposed to OpenIsis which is depreciating it's XS binding) and has support just for reading. It's developed for WebPAC (library data search engine) so I never needed ability to search Isis files directly. Module documentation is available at: http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/projects/perl/IsisDB/pod2html/IsisDB.html and whole tarball of module is at: http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/projects/perl/IsisDB-0.08.tar.gz If somebody is using CDS/ISIS (or WinIsis or IsisMarc) I would be grateful if you try to dump your database using dump_isisdb.pl included in scripts directory of distribution. If there are any problems, please report them to me. I also have doubts about module name (claiming new top-level IsisDB name-space on CPAN is probably not right thing to do), but I couldn't think of better one -- aside from Isis, but since it implements just reading it doesn't make sense. Isis::Read comes to mind, but it's not much better (and I do plan to add write support to module at one point in time). Thanks for your time and happy new year. -- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix addict. Internet consultant. http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin
