SimpleServer
I just added Index Data's SimpleServer [1] to the list [2] of Perl software at perl4lib. Thanks to Anders Mortensen for suggesting it. SimpleServer is essentially a Perl module that allows you to easily build your own Z39.50 server from Perl. It has exciting possibilities for building Z39.50 interfaces for your local home brewed databases, and for building Z39.50 bridges to other search interfaces. There's an example of Zoogle (a Z39.50 interface to Google) on the SimpleServer webpage. //Ed [1] http://www.indexdata.dk/simpleserver/ [2] http://perl4lib.perl.org/

testing invalid iso2709 files
Hi, The following code : my $marcrecord = MARC::File::USMARC::decode($marcarray[$i]."\x1D"); warn "ref : ".ref($marcrecord); ... inclusion in Koha DB ... works fine with a valid iso2709 record in $marcarray[$i]. With something not valid (like a random value), it returns that ref($marcrecord) is MARC::Record. So, how to know that the decoded variable is NOT a valid marc record ? other question : how works ->warnings ? I tried $marcrecord->warnings(), but I only get a number. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

The reason why warnings() returns a list is that a given record could have multiple warnings. When you assign to a scalar in list context you get the amount of items in the list, which is why you got a number. It can be a handy trick sometimes: my $count = @items; ## number of items in @items //Ed
Re: testing invalid iso2709 files
Note that if you call warnings() on a MARC::Record object the internal list of warnings is cleared, so if you call it a second time for the same object you'll get nothing.
