In order to close this discussion, I created a ticket on rt.cpan.org (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=76990) and attached a patch to force record length to not be greater than 99999 in the leader.
This would have the effect of having MARC::Record output invalid records that we *know* are invalid. There's no way around it -- an ISO2709 blob can be no longer than 99999 octets, and a strict parser (a couple of which do exist in the wild) would drop records where the Leader/05 does not match the length of the record as determined by the location of the record terminator character.
Actually, MARC::Record will always output invalid records if they're longer than 99999 bytes. But with the patch, at least the leader is well-formed (24 chars long).
I'm much more inclined to accept a patch to MARC::Record that introduces a more forgiving input parsing mode.
What do you mean by "a more **forgiving** input parsing mode" ? -- Julian Maurice <julian.maurice@biblibre.com> BibLibre
