Hello again (and sorry for the delay).

I'm attaching my patch to include the biblio_fingerprint code directly
in Ingest.pm. As suggested by Dan, I've included a
"legacy_script_support" option in opensrf.xml that lets you run the
old biblio_fingerprint.js script instead.

A few notes:
* The Perl code is structured very similarly to the JavaScript code
(lots of try/catch blocks). There may be a better way to write it...
* For the quality value, I left most of the increments in (length of
datafields, matching certain values of the 039 field, etc). The
exception is the quality bump for language. For some reason that I
didn't understand, the old script incremented the quality value for
English records only. If that's still needed, it can be added to the
Perl code.
* The other script called by Ingest.pm, biblio_descriptor.js, will
still be called, regardless of the legacy_script_support setting.

This is my first stab at this. It has solved the problems I was having
with direct_ingest.pl for our records but comments and feedback are
definitely welcome.

Thanks!
