I haven't thought in your approach. I'm currently working from what
CDS/ISIS (DOS version) exports that is very similar to ISO2709. I've
decoded the information and unloaded it in a hash array, where I'm
merging my databases and generating MARC records with MARC::Record.<br>

For what it's worth, it's much easier to write MARC XML files than
regular MARC files, and tends to be less error-prone. You can
use these with bulkmarcimport.pl with only slight modifications,
once you've installed MARC::File::XML for perl.
The LoC has much more info about the format:

Personally, I'm converting my records to MODS format, then to
MARC XML (using a LoC stylesheet). This is even easier for me,
though it isn't as powerful.
I put some scripts online, as examples. I haven't done very good
mapping, but it's a start:
