It's compact, but it might be a little clearer if you call a grave a grave... $grave = chr(0xE1); $field = MARC::Field->new( '710', '2', '', a => 'Biblioth'.$grave.'eque nationale de france.' ); Alan Manifold Systems Implementation Manager Purdue University Libraries ITD 504 West State S

Oops, that's the second time today I've inadvertantly sent an email message (some keystroke combination from vi I think). The reference was: [1] The exception to this is if you had previously escaped to an alternate character set (such as Arablic or Greek) and desired to return to Extended Latin
