Ack, sorry, various copying and pasting apparently caused Google Mail to
have issues.
As I as was saying,before I must have hit some keystroke that I'm sure
makes sense in whatever editor I was just susing:
Instead of having:
open(OUTPUT, ">$outfile");
... (whole bunch o code)
print OUTPUT $record->as_usmarc();
I would do
open $output_marc, '>:raw', $outfile or die "Couldn't open file $!" ;
print $output_marc $record->as_usmarc() ;
(or I might play with binmode).
Sorry for any confusion with the two emails ;)
