my $record = MARC::Loader->new($foo);

# Here, the command "print $record->as_formatted;" will return :

DESCRIPTION

This is a Perl extension for creating MARC records from a hash variable. MARC::Loader use MARC::Record.

The names of hash keys are very important. They must begin with one letter ( e.g. f) followed by the 3-digit field ( e.g. 099) optionally followed by the letter or digit of the subfield. Repeatable fields are arrays of hash ( e.g., 'f700' => [{'f700f' => '1900','f700a' => 'ICHER'},{'f700f' => '1353','f700a' => 'PAULUS'}] ). Repeatable subfields are arrays ( e.g., 'f101a' => [ 'lat','fre','spa'] ). Control fields can't be repeatable and are automatically detected when the hash key begin with one letter followed by 3-digit lower than 10 followed by one letter or digit or underscore ( e.g. f005_). Indicators must begin with the letter i followed by the 3-digit field followed by the indicator's position (1 or 2) : e.g. i0991. Record's leader can be defined with an hash key named 'ldr' ( e.g., 'ldr' => 1 ). You can reorder the fields in alphabetical order with an hash key named 'orderfields' ( e.g., 'orderfields' => 1 ). You can reorder the subfields of each field in alphabetical order with an hash key named 'ordersubfields' ( e.g., 'ordersubfields' => 1 ). You can remove non-sorting characters with an hash key named 'cleannsb' ( e.g., 'cleannsb' => 1 ). =head1 METHOD

new()

• $record = MARC::Loader->new($foo);

  it's the only function you'll use.
