MARC::...string(3pm)

💖 MARC::...string(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for MARC::Spec::Comparisonstring, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the 3pm bit, iykyk). It's a Perl module, and it's giving very specific energy. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

MARC::Spec::Comparisonstring — it's a comparison string specification, fr fr.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe in code form, no cap:

use MARC::Spec;

my $ms = MARC::Spec->new('245{$a~\marc});
say ref $ms->field->subspecs->[0]->rightSubTerm;  # MARC::Spec::Comparisonstring

see how that last line says MARC::Spec::Comparisonstring? yeah. that's the girl. that's her. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so MARC::Spec::Comparisonstring is, literally, the comparison string specification of a MARC::Spec. that's its whole job and it does it beautifully.

if you want the full tea on how the syntax works, go check out MARCspec - A common MARC record path language over at <https://marcspec.github.io/MARCspec/> — the details live there. 🫶

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

💜 raw

obligatory — meaning you have to give it one, bestie, it's not optional. this is the raw comparison string, with the escaped characters still in there. 🍓

💜 comparable

also obligatory. this one is the comparison string without the escaping "\ — so it's the cleaned-up, ready-to-compare version. ✨
