Description: Perl extension for parsing PQF (Prefix Query Format)
This library provides a parser for PQF (Prefix Query Format), an ugly
but precise string format for expressing Z39.50 Type-1 queries. This
also used extensively with test-harness programs such as the YAZ
command-line client, yaz-client. A few particularly misguided
souls have been known to type it by hand.
- .
- Unlike PQF itself, this module
- is simple to use. Create a parser object, then pass PQF strings
- into its parse() method to yield parse-trees. The trees are made
- up of nodes whose types are subclasses of
- Net::Z3950::PQF::Node.
- and have names of the form
- Net::Z3950::PQF::somethingNode. You may find it helpful to use
- Data::Dumper to visualise the structure of the returned
- parse-trees.
