Run the script without any arguments, e.g.

perl ./intranet/scripts/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl

small script to import an iso2709 file into Koha.
parameters :
	h : this version/help screen
	file /path/to/file/to/dump : the file to dump
	v : verbose mode. 1 means "some infos", 2 means "MARC dumping"
	n : the number of the record to import. If missing, all the file is imported
	t : test mode : parses the file, saying what he would do, but doing nothing.
	c : the characteristic MARC flavour. At the moment, only MARC21 and UNIMARC
	supported. MARC21 by default.
	d : delete EVERYTHING related to biblio in koha-DB before import  :tables :
		biblio, 		biblioitems, 		subjects,	items
		additionalauthors, 	bibliosubtitles, 	marc_biblio,
		marc_subfield_table, 	marc_word, 		marc_blob_subfield
IMPORTANT : don't use this script before you've entered and checked twice (or more) your  MARC parameters tables.
If you fail this, the import won't work correctly and you will get invalid datas.

SAMPLE : ./bulkmarcimport.pl -file /home/paul/koha.dev/local/npl -n 1
