use MARC::File::USMARC;
my $file = MARC::File::USMARC->in( $filename );
while ( my $marc = $file->next() ) {
# Do something
}
$file->close();
undef $file;
None.
in()Opens a file for input.
next()Reads the next record from the file handle passed in.
skip()Skips over the next record in the file. Same as next(),
without the overhead of parsing a record you're going to throw away
anyway.
Returns 1 or undef.
warnings()Simlilar to MARC::Record and MARC::Batch, warnings() will return any
warnings that have accumulated while processing this file; and as a
side-effect will clear the warnings buffer.
out() method
