NAME

Catmandu::Importer::MAB2 - Package that imports MAB2 data

VERSION

version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

use Catmandu::Importer::MAB2;

my $importer = Catmandu::Importer::MAB2->new(file => "./t/mab2.dat", type=> "raw");

my $n = $importer->each(sub {
    my $hashref = $_[0];
    # ...
});

To convert between MAB2 syntax variants with the catmandu command line client:

catmandu convert MAB2 --type raw to MAB2 --type xml < mab2.dat

MAB2

The parsed MAB2 record is a HASH containing two keys '_id' containing the 001 field (or the system identifier of the record) and 'record' containing an ARRAY of ARRAYs for every field:

{
 'record' => [
               [
                   '001',
                   ' ',
                   '_',
                   'fol05882032 '
               ],
               [
                   245,
                   'a',
                   'a',
                   'Cross-platform Perl /',
                   'c',
                   'Eric F. Johnson.'
               ],
       ],
 '_id' => 'fol05882032'
}
