I have a minor contribution to those who may benefit. After all, I have been leaching for some time now...
I have written a small and rudimentary perl script that creates Marc records out of the results from a db search (mysql is used in the example script attached) and puts them into a Marc record using the perl MARC library and fields/subfields of your designation.
I created this in order to import data from our multimedia collection which contains unique materials and was minimally cataloged w/filemaker. I got the data I needed into a mysql db and wrote the script to be executed on the Koha server.
The perl libraries needed to run this script should already be available on a working Koha server.
I will be happy to answer question for anyone who is likely to use this. This is my first foray into writing perl scripts, however I am a seasoned php developer w/alot of db experience and have previously written scripts in Php to bulk edit marc records pulled from external z39 servers with our libraries custom data fields.
blah blah blah
Happy Friday,
Tony

Subject: bulkmarcimport and different framework
Hi,
I want to use the bulkmarcimport script to import records using a new biblio framework I created for my library's multimedia collection and not the default biblio framework I use for the rest of the collection.
I don't see any way to specify this in the command.
Is this possible to do?
