Conflict?  I wouldn't think so, but perhaps superfluous in the case of
MARC-in-JSON.  See

http://marcpm.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=marcpm/marcpm;a=commit;h=66e7ba36bc974ee068afddc0da9177ac8bebcdc6

The MARC::File::JSON module is consistent with other MARC::File::XXX
modules that handle serializing and deserializing MARC::Record
objects.

MARC::Utils::MARC2Ini is an interesting concept, but it wouldn't take
much work to recast it as MARC::File::Ini.  By using MARC::File::Foo
serializers/deserializers, you could also avoid the need for an
explicit MARC::Utils::MARC_in_JSON2Ini; instead, you could just do
this:

my $rec = MARC::File::JSON::decode($json);
my $ini_string = MARC::File::Ini::encode($rec);
