Srdjan,


The addition of this logic to addbiblio.pl is causing bug 6974:

+    if ( $record eq -1 ) {
+        $record = TransformHtmlToMarc( $input );
+    }
+    else {
 #FIXME: it's kind of silly to go from MARC::Record to MARC::File::XML and then
back again just to fix the encoding
-    eval {
-        my $uxml = $record->as_xml;
-        MARC::Record::default_record_format("UNIMARC")
-          if ( C4::Context->preference("marcflavour") eq "UNIMARC" );
-        my $urecord = MARC::Record::new_from_xml( $uxml, 'UTF-8' );
-        $record = $urecord;
-    };
+        eval {
+            my $uxml = $record->as_xml;
+            MARC::Record::default_record_format("UNIMARC")
+            if ( C4::Context->preference("marcflavour") eq "UNIMARC" );
+            my $urecord = MARC::Record::new_from_xml( $uxml, 'UTF-8' );
+            $record = $urecord;
+        };
+    }

Can you help me understand the reasoning behind adding the conditional check
for $record eq -1?  What does that fix?
