Well currently we had to modify the MARC::File::XML so that the
XMLheader says <record blah blah> and footer says </record> and
commented "push $xml ,<record>" lines.

I know this is not a proper way of doing things but it works for us
since currently we use single XML records for ZOOM . But I think
somebody should get this XML.pm retouched so that we can have
<collection><record></record></collection> format as an option in case
indedxdata decides to accept multiple XML records wrapped in
<collection> later on.

Well to tell the truth I like Zebra and can give them 100% for the speed
of their database but we are having to experiment with so many things
with vey little documentation that its becoming tiring.

We have no funding on this but our hearts in KOHA and hope we are not
left heart broken.

Regards

Tumer

In the process of (hopefully) fixing MARC::File::XML so it can deal
with UNIMARC records, I have added a new method that does, I think,
exactly what you want.  The current CVS version, which requires the
newest version of MARC::Charset from CPAN and the CVS version of
MARC::Record, adds a method to MARC::Record objects called
as_xml_record().  This method works exactly like as_xml(), but does
not produce a <collection> wrapper.

First install the newest MARC::Charset from CPAN.  Here are the
instructions for grabbing the CVS copy of MARC::Record an
MARC::File::XML:

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/marcpm login
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/marcpm co
-P marc-record
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/marcpm co
-P marc-xml

  cd marc-record
  perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test
 make install

  cd ../marc-xml
  perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test
 make install
