z39.50 is broken in 1.3.3

so, not a perl problem.
I think it's because you choose to upload a MARCsomething file and 
choose during install a MARCotherthing parameter table.
If that's the problem, thent it's not a bug :
for example, in UNIMARC, the ISBN is in the 010a column.
Maybe in your MARC flavour it's somewhere else.
Note also that in 1.3.3 you can only upload MARC files where biblios 
have an ISBN. Oldest biblios doesn't. An extended feature in development 
will improve this.

Last, the import just import a MARC file in "breeding farm", which is a 
place where the biblio waits to be added to the "living" db (= when you 
buy an item)
If you plan to import your previous db (= with items...), then... you'll 
have to wait a little, as the script doing this is badly broken in 1.3.3.

ok, that's right !

hope this helps
