Hi all. I have an obscure problem that I may end up having to solve from the ground up, but hopefully not. I work in the University of California library system, and use the MELVYL database (link below) heavily. MELVYL is the library catalog system for the UC system and is MARC formatted. It used to have telnet access, but unfortunately that was discontinued a couple years ago. What I'm wondering (hoping) is, does anyone know of a module currently existing that can query MELVYL? I haven't been able to find one myself, so if one doesn't exist, what should I be looking at in terms of querying this thing manually? I assume I'll need a combination of the LWP and MARC modules, but if anyone has any tips it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
