libnet-z3950-zoom-perl - 1.32-2+b2 main

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