Subject: Version 1.15 of MARC?
Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:07:41 +0200 (CEST)
To: bug-MARC [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Havard Eidnes <he [...] NetBSD.org>
Hi, while checking the NetBSD pkgsrc package for MARC, I found that it contains version 1.15. However, the newest version on CPAN is 1.07. It would *appear* that version 1.15 has existed on CPAN previously, and the distribution file is cached in NetBSD's distribution file cache. The changes between 1.07 and 1.15 appear to the naked eye to be legitimate and benign, but may need a closer looking over. The list of the new changes are appended below. Is there any chance the CPAN distribution could pick up the newer distribution? Best regards, - HÃ¥vard

The original MARC.pm and MARC::XML.pm modules were essentially replaced by the MARC::Record family of modules in 2000. Both old and new sets were supported by the Perl for Librarians mailing list. The reasons for the switch ajd to do with internationalization, and standards, and the needs of users - but basically the early modules were "outgrown" and couldn't scale readily to the needs of bigger libraries. I'll look on my development system and see what the last version distributed was - but I hate to post "as new" something which is known to be obsolete. -bill ************** Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
