Description: Perl extension for handling MARC records

Provides modules that define MARC fields, check the validity of MARC records, and handle MARC records as objects.

The MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) format was designed by the Library of Congress in the late 1960s in order to allow libraries to convert their card catalogs into a digital format. The advantages of having computerized card catalogs were soon realized, and now MARC is being used by all sorts of libraries around the world to provide computerized access to their collections. MARC data in transmission format is optimized for processing
by computers, so it's not very readable for the normal human.
