[Marcpm-development] Undefined subroutine &MARC::Batch

[Jean-Denis M. <jd...@kl...>]

Hi,

I am a newcomer to MARC::Record and I wanted to go through the tutorial.

Unfortunately, the very first example in the tutorial fails with the
following error message:

Undefined subroutine &MARC::Batch

Here is the full source code (comments removed):

use MARC::Batch;
my $batch = MARC::Batch('USMARC', 'export500.txt');
my $record = $batch->next();
print $record->title(),"\n";

The error happens on the second line.

I am on a Mac, running MacOS X 10.6.2, with Perl 5.10.0.

Any idea?

I hope this the correct place to get help. If there is a better-suited
avenue, I haven't found it and I will gladly follow a pointer.

FWIW, I am starting a rather large project with MARC (UNIMARC flavour). This
project will consolidate a large fraction of the French Ministry of
Defense's libraries. Several dozens thousand records will be
imported/processed/exported during the course of this project. While I may
need help from time to time (as today), I hope I'll also be able to give
back thanks to this project.

Regards and thanks,

Jean-Denis Muys
