Great ... thanks Bryan. MARC::Record2.0RC1 fixed my probs. In case anyone's wondering why I asked, I just finished version 0.01 of Open-ILS's [1] new Z39.50 Server. A bug in MARC::Record 1.x was holding me back.
The server's based on Index Data's excellent Net::Z3950::SimpleServer [2]. It also uses MARC::Record to convert MARCXML (which is how Open-ILS stores bib records) to MARC21. The problem I was having with MARC::Record 1.x happened because some of the MARC records in GPLS's data were encoded with utf-8 outside the ascii range (at least I _think_ that was the problem) and MARC::Record wasn't calculating the directory offsets properly (again, I _think_). MARC::Record 2.0RC1 handled the data fine and no errors were thrown by SimpleServer and my Z-client (Yaz) when I tested. So Kudos to whoever's responsible for the utf-8 support.
