Am I using MARC::Charset correctly?
Yeah, you're not using it correctly. At the moment there's no way to
transform an entire MARC::Record object. If you want to convert the
245 $a for example you could:
$field = $record->field('245');
$a = $field->subfield('a');
print $cs->to_utf8($a);
Not sure if that helps. I'm hoping to find some time to modernize
MARC::Charset to get it using the latest mapping file from LoC, and
to get MARC::File::XML using it where appropriate. If anyone is
interested in helping out let me know.
