Much appreciated. The return values should be consistent 0/undef, athough
logically they amount to the same thing in Perl. Could you add a tic

Shouldn't :) But it will be an additional dependency, that is mostly
superfluous. Interesting bit of code though! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe that's what is required.
Perl 5.6 is not bleeding edge, though. It is more then three years since it was
released.
What I am trying to do is to identify areas in the API where improvments can be done.
Then, of course, it is up to the maintainers to decide what to do.

At the top of MARC::Record we add:
use Want;
This would introduce a dependency on Perl 5.6, which Want requires.
MARC::Record currently only requires 5.5, as far as I can tell.

I did some research.
It is possible to do this.
Some people may consider the resulting code a bit bizarre, I am sure.
But it is do-able.
Using the Want.pm module we can gather information about several different contexts in
which the code is executing.
We add a flag to the MARC::Record object t
