Net::Z3950::AsyncZ
|
|
Intro
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ adds an additional layer of asynchronous support for
|
|
the Z3950 module through the use of multiple forked processes. I hope
|
|
that users will also find that it provides a convenient front end to
|
|
"Net::Z3950". My initial idea was to write something that would provide
|
|
a convenient means of processing and formatting Z39.50 records--which I
|
|
did, using the "Z3950" synchronous code. But I also wanted something
|
|
that could handle queries to large numbers of servers at one session.
|
|
Working on this part of my project, I found that I had trouble with the
|
|
"Z3950" asynchronous features and so ended up with what I have here.
|
|
|
|
I give a more detailed account in in the DESCRIPTION section of
|
|
"AsyncZ.pod".
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
AsyncZ.pod
|
|
This is the starting point--it gives an overview of the AsyncZ
|
|
module, describes the basic mechanics of its asynchronous workings,
|
|
and details the particulars of the objects and methods. But see
|
|
""Examples.pod" for detailed explanations of the sample scripts
|
|
which come with the "Net::Z3950::AsyncZ" distribution.
|
|
|
|
Options.pod
|
|
This document details the various options that can be set to modify
|
|
the behavior of AsyncZ Index
|
|
|
|
Report.pod
|
|
Report.pod deals with how records are treated line by line and how
|
|
you can affect the apearance of a record's line by line output
|
|
|
|
Examples.pod
|
|
This document goes through the sample scripts that come with the
|
|
"Net::Z3950::AsyncZ" distribution and annotates them in a
|
|
line-by-line fashion. It's a basic HOW-TO.
|
|
|
|
The Modules
|
|
There are more modules than there is documentation. The reason for this
|
|
is that the only module you have full and complete access to is
|
|
"Net::Z3950::AsyncZ". The other modules are either internal to
|
|
"Net::AsyncZ" or accessed indirectly or in part indirectly.
|
|
|
|
Here are the modules:
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ
|
|
The main module: direct access --documented in "AsyncZ" and
|
|
"Options" documentation
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::ErrMsg
|
|
User error message handling: indirect access -- documented in
|
|
"AsyncZ" documentation
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::Errors
|
|
Error handling for debugging: limited access -- documented in
|
|
"AsyncZ" documentation
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::Report
|
|
Module reponsible for fetching and formatting records: limited
|
|
access -- documented
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::ZLoop
|
|
Event loop for child processes: no access -- not documented
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::ZSend
|
|
Connection details for child processes: no access -- not documented
|
|
|
|
Net::Z3950::AsyncZ::Options::_params
|
|
Options for child processes: direct and indirect access --
|
|
documented in "Options" and "AsyncZ" documentation
|
