Hmm, yeah the idea w/ MARC::Record v2.x was that binmode would be
used. It looks like you can add 'use bytes' to your program and things
will
work as well.
use bytes;
use MARC::Batch;
my $batch = new MARC::Batch('USMARC', $ARGV[0]);
$batch->strict_off ();
$batch->warnings_off ();
my $record = $batch->next;
print $record->as_usmarc;
Does that "screw things up" for you in a similar way that binmode on
the filehandle does? What does "screw things up" actually mean?
