NAME

PICA::Parser::Plain - Plain PICA format parser

DESCRIPTION

This parser can parse both PICA Plain and annotated PICA. Option annotation can be used to enforce or forbid annotations.

See PICA::Parser::Base for synopsis and configuration.

In addition to the $ this parser also allows ƒ as subfield indicator and it skips lines with WinIBW download messages, unless option strict is enabled.

The counterpart of this module is PICA::Writer::Plain.
