[Koha] Using perl module Koha::Contrib::Tamil koha-auth

[Pedro Amorim]

Hello everyone,

After importing biblio records, I know need to create authority records
from those biblios, and link them respectively.

I am using Koha Contrib Tamil perl modules from Frederic Demians
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Koha-Contrib-Tamil/ which looks like exactly
what I want:
1) Extract authorities from the biblios;
2) Import them in Koha;
3) Link authorities and biblios together.

I managed to install the perl module through CPAN and got through steps 1)
and 2) fairly quickly, however I am struggling with step 3), as I am having
two problems I think:

1) For many biblios, the following message is presented:
WARNING: authority not found -- 353.9(469)(094.4)

But said authority indeed exists and is indexed.

2) After about 400 biblios processed (I think), it throws this error and it
hangs printing "405" forever:

*** unhandled exception in callback:
***   Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <--

     405
     405
     405
...

So my question is, has anyone used this open source module before and how
successfull where they?

Thank you,
