11 Description: Perl extension implementing the ZOOM API for Information Retrieval
12 This module provides a nice, Perlish implementation of the ZOOM
13 Abstract API described and documented at http://zoom.z3950.org/api/
15 the ZOOM module is implemented as a set of thin classes on top of the
16 non-OO functions provided by this distribution's Net::Z3950::ZOOM
18 turn is a thin layer on top of the ZOOM-C code supplied as part of
19 Index Data's YAZ Toolkit. Because ZOOM-C is also the underlying code
20 that implements ZOOM bindings in C++, Visual Basic, Scheme, Ruby, .NET
21 (including C#) and other languages, this Perl module works compatibly
22 with those other implementations. (Of course, the point of a public
23 API such as ZOOM is that all implementations should be compatible
24 anyway; but knowing that the same code is running is reassuring.)
