I tried it on my WinXP box with Strawberry Perl 5.10.1, MARC::Record 2.0.0
and Encode 2.40 with the script you listed against the file you mentioned. I
got the MARC record output correctly, didn't get any error.

I did get these errors while working with legacy data, and found that
setting the output to binmode utf8 solves the problem. In cases it doesn't,
I do a round-trip conversion using MARCEdit, which solves any remaining
issues and saves lot of time.
