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. . Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/~dpavlin/Biblio-Isis-0.24/lib/Biblio/Isis.pm
