Mike, is there any value in considering forking MARC::Record at this  
point?

I've just written an email to Mike O'Regan who currently holds the  
reins on MARC::Record at CPAN to see if he has any interest in  
keeping it maintained. If not I know brian d foy (CPAN admin) has  
suggested that he could reassign privileges to a new maintainer. If a  
fork is out of the question would you guys be interested in  
maintaining the module?
