[Koha-win32] bulkmarcimport.pl

I am trying to install Koha on windows for myself and several others who have extensive research libraries. Koha appears to be a very good solution for our needs. I have successfullly installed and documented the base configuration. But I have run into several problems and am trying to attack them in a systematic way. I was wondering if you had any resolution to the bulkmarcimport.pl problem. I would be willing to be a tester for you if needed.

Here is the error I receive:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd c:\usr\koha227\scripts\misc\migration_tools

C:\usr\koha227\scripts\misc\migration_tools>set KOHA_CONF=c:\etc\koha.conf

C:\usr\koha227\scripts\misc\migration_tools>set PERL5LIB=c:\usr\koha227\intranet\modules

C:\usr\koha227\scripts\misc\migration_tools>bulkmarcimport.pl

C:\usr\koha227\scripts\misc\migration_tools>

I found this on one of the Koha lists.

Aparently the rollback did not work.

I don’t want to monopolize your time so I am still digging on several other problems (z39.50 500 error in search.pl, no remote access to intranet even with the host file entries and how to implement LC Call numbers).

I am running your most current configuration from the Koha win32 downloads site. The base os is windows 2003 server. (I also re-ran the perl modules)
