Nicole,


Oh, that's the PERL5LIB thing.  Try this:

perl -I /Users/nengard/kohaclone bulkauthimport.pl -file /Users/nengard/Desktop/authoritymarc.mrc

Assuming that path after the -I is where your kohaclone is.

Oh poo -- looks like I'm missing something I need installed --

nengard at debian:~/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools$ perl
bulkauthimport.pl -file /Users/nengard/Desktop/authoritymarc.mrc
Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at bulkauthimport.pl line 18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at bulkauthimport.pl line 18.
nengard at debian:~/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools$

Hmmm
