12 Description: Perl extension for parsing PQF (Prefix Query Format)
13 This library provides a parser for PQF (Prefix Query Format), an ugly
14 but precise string format for expressing Z39.50 Type-1 queries. This
15 format is widely used behind the scenes of Z39.50 applications, and is
16 also used extensively with test-harness programs such as the YAZ
17 command-line client, yaz-client. A few particularly misguided
18 souls have been known to type it by hand.
20 Unlike PQF itself, this module
21 is simple to use. Create a parser object, then pass PQF strings
22 into its parse() method to yield parse-trees. The trees are made
23 up of nodes whose types are subclasses of
24 Net::Z3950::PQF::Node.
25 and have names of the form
26 Net::Z3950::PQF::somethingNode. You may find it helpful to use
27 Data::Dumper to visualise the structure of the returned
