Z39.50 server module for Perl programmers

Guys,

We have just released the first version of a Perl Interface for the 
"generic front-end server" component of the YAZ toolkit. Basically, this is 
a Perl Module which provides a simple API which hides the complexity of 
Z39.50 session management, PDU serialisation, and network operations. All 
you have to worry about it creating a "glue layer" for your own database.

Apart from Perl's suitability for the type of high-level activities 
typically required by a database model conversion layer, you can draw on a 
pretty impressive suite of add-on tools - including database access, data 
crunching, record creation and filtering in XML and MARC, etc.

It is freeware.
