NAME

       Catmandu::Importer::MAB2 - Package that imports MAB2 data

SYNOPSIS

           use Catmandu::Importer::MAB2;

           my $importer = Catmandu::Importer::MAB2->new(file => "./t/mab2.dat", type=> "raw");

           my $n = $importer->each(sub {
               my $hashref = $_[0];
               # ...
           });

       To convert between MAB2 syntax variants with the catmandu command line client:

           catmandu convert MAB2 --type raw to MAB2 --type xml < mab2.dat

MAB2

       The parsed MAB2 record is a HASH containing two keys '_id' containing the 001 field (or
       the system identifier of the record) and 'record' containing an ARRAY of ARRAYs for every
       field:

        {
         'record' => [
                       [
                           '001',
                           ' ',
                           '_',
                           'fol05882032 '
                       ],
                       [
                           245,
                           'a',
                           'a',
                           'Cross-platform Perl /',
                           'c',
                           'Eric F. Johnson.'
                       ],
               ],
         '_id' => 'fol05882032'
        }
