Would any of you have a script for converting MARC records from MARC
ANSEL to UTF-8 that you would be willing to share?

I have millions of MARC records that I need to convert on a regular
basis. Our data is too dirty for marc4j, and it's failure mode too
severe. I understand that MARC::Record and MARC::Charset are more
forgiving, but my Perl is minimal.

Advice, sample code, pointers and the like are welcome.
