I've fixed the missing-quote bug in CVS (thanks for spotting that,
Tümer), but without more details I won't be able to tell what's wrong
with MARC::File::SAX, if that is indeed the issue.  I cannot get
anything to fail here after fixing that missing-quote bug.

Tümer, if you add

  use warnings;
  use diagnostics;

to the top of your script does it tell you where the problem with
MARC::File::XML is?
