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

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, gather round 💖 this one is Catmandu::Importer::MARC::RAW — the 3pm manual page — and it's literally the package that imports ISO 2709 encoded MARC records. that's the whole vibe. RAW MARC in, records out, no drama 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

you can run it from the command line like this:

# From the command line
$ catmandu convert MARC --type RAW --fix "marc_map('245a','title')" < /foo/bar.mrc

or if you're a perl girlie (respect 💅):

# From perl
use Catmandu;

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

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

and like, you can also chain it through the fixer if that's your thing:

# or using the fixer

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

no cap, that second one is giving main character energy 👑

🦋 CONFIGURATION 🦋

every single knob you can turn, coming right up:

• id — the MARC field that holds the system id. default is 001. that's it, that's the one 🫶
• file — read your input from a local file, you just hand it the path. OR you can pass a scalar reference and it'll read from a string instead. cute, right? ✨
• fh — read input from an IO::Handle. if you don't specify it, Catmandu::Util::io gets called in to build the input stream from the file argument, or from STDIN. either way, it's handled 💅
• encoding — the binmode of the input stream fh. it's set to :utf8 by default. iconic default behaviour, honestly 🌈
• fix — an ARRAY of one or more fixes, or file scripts, that get applied to your imported items. load it up bestie 🔥

💜 METHODS 💜

every Catmandu::Importer is a Catmandu::Iterable, so all its methods are inherited. that means you get the whole inheritance situation for free — no extra work, just vibes 🧚
