Catman...RC::ISO(3pm)

🦋 Catman...RC::ISO(3pm) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Catman...RC::ISO(3pm) — the user contributed perl documentation for this little icon. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Importer::MARC::ISO — the package that imports ISO MARC records. it's giving the importer, no cap. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so here's the vibe. first up, from the command line — and lowkey iconic detail: ISO is the default importer for MARC:

# From the command line (ISO is the default importer for MARC)
$ catmandu convert MARC --fix "marc_map('245a','title')" < /foo/bar.mrc

and from perl, the main character way:

# From perl
use Catmandu;

# import records from file
my $importer = Catmandu->importer('MARC',file => '/foo/bar.mrc');
my $fixer    = Catmandu->fixer("marc_map('245a','title')");

$importer->each(sub {
    my $item = shift;
    ...
});

# or using the fixer

$fixer->fix($importer)->each(sub {
    my $item = shift;
    printf "title: %s\n" , $item->{title};
});

not me writing fixes like it's nothing 💅 it just works.

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

these are the settings you can hand over. each one is a whole personality, fr fr.

• id — the MARC field that holds the system id. default? 001. periodt. 🆔
• file — read your input from a local file, given by its path. alternatively, you can pass a scalar reference to read from a string instead. versatile queen. 📁
• fh — read input from an IO::Handle. if you don't specify it, Catmandu::Util::io is used to build the input stream from the file argument, or by using STDIN. 🫶
• encoding — the binmode of the input stream fh. set to :utf8 by default. bestie stays utf8. ✨
• fix — an ARRAY of one or more fixes, or file scripts, to be applied to imported items. go off, glow up those records. 💖

🔥 METHODS 🔥

every Catmandu::Importer is a Catmandu::Iterable, so all its methods are inherited. meaning you get the whole family tree of methods for free. iconic behavior, honestly. 🌈
