libbiblio-isis-perl - 0.24-1.5 main

This module will read ISIS databases created by DOS CDS/ISIS, WinIsis or
IsisMarc.
.
Biblio::Isis is a Perl module which reads ISIS databases produced by
CDS/ISIS programs, such as MicroISIS, WinISIS and IsisMARC. ISIS was a
popular family of integrated library systems provided as freeware by
UNESCO, and this module provides methods to parse full databases and
use them in a Perl program in order to migrate them to other formats.
.
It can create hash values from data in ISIS database (using to_hash),
ASCII dump (using to_ascii) or just hash with field names and packed
values (like ^asomething^belse).
.
Unique feature of this module is ability to include_deleted records.
It will also skip zero sized fields (OpenIsis has a bug in XS bindings, so
fields which are zero sized will be filled with random junk from memory).
.
It also has support for identifiers (only if ISIS database is created by
IsisMarc), see to_hash.
