Sorry for the delay in reply, folks. Actually, you should be able to do exactly what you want. You can either pass 'use' flags to M::F::X to set the default: use MARC::File::XML ( BinaryEncoding => 'utf8', RecordFormat => 'UNIMARC' ); or, if you're reading the XML by hand one record at a time, you can use new_from_xml (after loading M::F::X, of course) with parameters: my $record = MARC::Record->new_from_xml( $xml, 'UTF-8', 'UNIMARC' ); Please let us know if those don't work for you. -- Mike Rylander | VP, Research and Design | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
