I'm glad that I was able to help! I had wondered if you were going to run
into encoding issues, and I had thought about warning you... but I figured
that was a different piece of the puzzle.
So far, I've actually only written to in-memory file handles (my example

Many thanks to David, Bruce and Karl for suggestions - all were helpful!
David and Bruce both reminded me that scalar variables can be treated as
file handles:
open(my $fh, "<", \$xml) or die "Couldn't open file handle: $!";
my $batch = MARC::Batch->new( 'XML', $fh );
I had tried this wit

I've just tested my theory, and it worked great. Here's some code that you

use MARC::Batch;
my $xml;
while (my $line = ){
$xml .= $line;
}

Hey Andy,
That does sound like an annoying problem. Someone else might have a better
answer, but I think I have a clever solution...
Instead of using MARC::File::XML directly, you can use MARC::Batch instead:
my $batch = MARC::Batch->new( 'XML', $filename );
According to the MARC::Batch documen
Hi -
I'm pulling records from the WorldCat Search API in MARCXML, and need to
convert them to binary MARC for further evaluation, which I'll do via
MARC::Record.
Problem: Converting from MARCXML via MARC::File::XML seems to require
reading the records from a file. I've already got the XML stored
