Simple Z39.50 searching for ordinary folk.
See the POD documentation for details.
Follow the usual Perl module installation process:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
[sudo] make install
NOTE: When you run `make test', Search::Z3950 will, by default, contact the (U.S.A.) Library of Congress's Z39.50 server. To choose a different server to use in testing, run `perl Makefile.PL --interact' instead of just `perl Makefile.PL'. You will then be able to choose from a list of servers.
WARNING: Unfortunately, testing against other servers may result in failure, because I haven't tested the tests themselves to make sure the proper queries are sent!
