Hello all, I am working on a script that will take a MARC record from Baker and Taylor's Title Source and pre-process it so that I can use it in SirsiDynix Symphony 9XX loader - which takes MARC records and converts them into bib records (of course) and Purchase Order records.
Mostly my script takes individual subfields in the 949 and re-combines them in several ways so that I get the codes I need. However, I also want to take information in the 951 and do some logic on it, like "if the physical format is 'Paperback' then assign a vendor ID of 1234." So, I need to do pattern matching, I think from the docs I'm supposed to do it like this: if($phys_format->as_string() =~ /Paperback/ ). I think I need the "as_string" in order to do regular expressions, yes? However, what I get back from the interpreter is "Can't locate object method 'as_string' via package Paperback (perhaps you forgot to load Paperback)?" The error is on line 153 of the attached script. I've also attached the MARC record I've been testing. Can anyone help out a newb? Thanks so much.
