DESCRIPTION

This is a Perl extension for creating MARC records from a hash variable. MARC::Loader use MARC::Record.

The names of hash keys are very important. They must begin with one letter (f eg) followed the 3-digit field (099 eg) optionally followed the letter or digit of the subfield. Repeatable fields are arrays of hash ( 'f700' = [{'f700f' => '1900','f700a' => 'ICHER'},{'f700f' => '1353','f700a' => 'PAULUS'}]> eg ). Repeatable subfields are arrays ( 'f101a' = [ 'lat','fre','spa']> eg ). Indicators must begin with the letter i followed the 3-digit field followed by the indicator's position (1 or 2) : i0991 eg.

METHOD

new()

• $record = MARC::Loader->new($foo);

  it's the only function you'll use.
