[Refdb-users] marc2ris.pl

[Liam M. H. <ln...@he...>]

I have two issues with marc2ris.pl.

The first is that I get an error 
  Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/RefDB/Log.pm line 271.
when I try to use this script.  I understand from
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5406630 that
this is due to a lack of write permissions on the log file.  When I
touch the log file as root and change permissions to 666, however, I
get the same result.  I actually would like the log file to go to
stdout, but changing
  logdest stderr
in marc2risrc worked for one of my clients but not on the other.
If I do
  marc2ris.pl -L marc2ris.log kirk.usmarc > kirk.ris
it works fine, and at the moment, it's the only way I can run this
script on the second client.

The second problem is that MARC tags are mixed in with RIS lines; it
appears the -m flag is always on, and I can't shut it off.  

  yaz-client z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager
  find @attr 1=7 0486434842
  set_marcdump kirk.usmarc
  format usmarc
  show
  quit

  marc2ris.pl -L marc2ris.log kirk.usmarc
