  Description : Simple string tokenizer

A simple string tokenizer which takes a string and splits it on whitespace.
It also optionally takes a string of characters to use as delimiters, and
returns them with the token set as well. This allows for splitting the string
in many different ways.

This is a very basic tokenizer, so more complex needs should be either
addressed with a custom written tokenizer or post-processing of the output
generated by this module. Basically, this will not fill everyones needs, but
it spans a gap between simple split / /, $string and the other options that
involve much larger and complex modules.

Also note that this is not a lexical analyser. Many people confuse
tokenization with lexical analysis. A tokenizer mearly splits its input into
specific chunks, a lexical analyzer classifies those chunks. Sometimes these
two steps are combined, but not here.

The focus of functionality is to provide object based access to EDI messages
and subelements. At present, the EDI input processed by Business::EDI objects
is JSON from the edi4r ruby library, and there is no EDI output beyond the
perl objects themselves.

Base class for boolean nodes in a CQL parse tree. See CQL::AndNode and
CQL::OrNode. CQL::BooleanNode inherits from CQL::Node. Typically you'll want
to use CQL::AndNode or CQL::OrNode to instantiate the object.

  Description : gateway between Z39.50 and SRU/SRW

The Net::Z3950::Simple2ZOOM module provides all the application logic of a
generic "Swiss Army Gateway" between Z39.50 and SRU. It is used by the
simple2zoom program, and there is probably no good reason to make any other
program to use it. For that reason, this library-level documentation is more
than usually terse.

The library has only two public entry points: the new() constructor and the
launch_server() method. The synopsis above shows how they are used: a
Simple2ZOOM object is created using new(), then the launch_server() method is
invoked on it to -- get ready for a big surprise here -- launch the server.
(In fact, this synopsis is essentially the whole of the code of the
simple2zoom program. All the work happens inside the library.)

Bug#636380: ITP: libsru-perl -- framework for Search and Retrieval by URL

Package: wnpp

* Package name: libsru-perl

* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/SRU/
* License : Artistic or GPL-1+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : framework for Search and Retrieval by URL

The SRU package provides a framework for working with the Search and
Retrieval by URL (SRU) protocol developed by the Library of Congress. SRU
defines a web service for searching databases containing metadata and
objects. SRU often goes under the name SRW which is a SOAP version of the
protocol. You can think of SRU as a RESTful version of SRW, since all the
requests are simple URLs instead of XML documents being sent via some sort of
transport layer.

You might be interested in SRU if you want to provide a generic API for
searching a data repository and a mechanism for returning metadata records.
SRU defines three verbs: explain, scan and searchRetrieve which define the
requests and responses in a SRU interaction.

This set of modules attempts to provide a framework for building an SRU
service. The distribution is made up of two sets of Perl modules: modules in
the SRU::Request::* namespace which represent the three types of requests;
and modules in the SRU::Response::* namespace which represent the various
responses.

  Description : utility functions to deal with Library-of-Congress call 
numbers

Library::CallNumber::LC is mostly designed to do call number normalization,
with the following goals: The normalized call numbers are comparable with each
other, for proper sorting The normalized call number is a short as possible, so
left-anchored wildcard searches are possible (e.g., searching on "A11*" should
give you all the A11 call numbers) A range defined by start_of_range and
end_of_range should be correct, assuming that the string given for the end of
the range is, in fact, a left prefix.

That last point needs some explanation. The idea is that if someone gives a
range of, say, A-AZ, what they really mean is A - AZ.99. The end_of_range
method pads the given call number out to three cutters if need be. There is no
attempt to make end_of_range normalization correspond to anything in real life.

Bug#636603: ITP: libnet-z3950-simpleserver-perl -- simple perl API for building Z39.50 servers

  Description : simple perl API for building Z39.50 servers

The Net::Z3950::SimpleServer module is a tool for constructing Z39.50
"Information Retrieval" servers in Perl. The module is easy to use, but it does
help to have an understanding of the Z39.50 query structure and the
construction of structured retrieval records.

Z39.50 is a network protocol for searching remote databases and
retrieving the results in the form of structured "records". It is widely
used in libraries around the world, as well as in the US Federal Government.
In addition, it is generally useful whenever you wish to integrate a number
of different database systems around a shared, asbtract data model.

The model of the module is simple: It implements a "generic" Z39.50
server, which invokes callback functions supplied by you to search
for content in your database. You can use any tools available in
Perl to supply the content, including modules like DBI and
WWW::Search.

The server will take care of managing the network connections for
you, and it will spawn a new process (or thread, in some
environments) whenever a new connection is received.

  Description : perl module to take the drudgery out of Exporting symbols

Exporter::Easy makes using Exporter easy. In it's simplest case it allows you
to drop the boilerplate code that comes with using Exporter. In more
complicated situations where you use tags to build lists and more tags, it
will set @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK, @EXPORT_FAIL and %EXPORT_TAGS in the current
package, add Exporter to that package's @ISA and do a use vars on all the
variables mentioned. The rest is handled as normal by Exporter.

Open Scalable Request Framework (OpenSRF, pronounced "open surf")
OpenSRF is a message routing network that offers scalability and
failover support for individual services and entire servers with
minimal development and deployment overhead.

OpenSRF can be used to build loosely-coupled applications that can
be deployed on a single server or on clusters of geographically
distributed servers using the same code and minimal configuration
changes.
