$Id: README,v 1.5 2004/12/17 17:15:30 mike Exp $ Net::Z3950::RadioMARC ===================== This module provides a simple way to write test-harnesses for the University of North Texas's "radioactive MARC record" project. This approach tests Z39.50 servers and explores their indexing strategies by injecting a "radioactive" MARC record whose fields contain known values unlikely to occur naturally in the wild, and searching for them. Playing with the Module ----------------------- In the root directory of the distribution (i.e. the directory that contains this README file), run the simple example script as follows. (Once you've installed, as described below, you can omit "-I lib".) perl -I lib etc/simple.pl perl -I lib etc/objective.pl Take a look at these scripts. They shows you the two styles in which the module can be used. They're pretty self-explanatory, and probably provide a better introduction than the actual documentation does. Installation ------------ To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Dependencies ------------ This module requires these other modules and libraries: The Net::Z3950 module, version 0.46 or later The Event module, version 0.77 or later The YAZ Z93.50 toolkit, version 2.0.28 or later The MARC::Record module, version 1.38 or later The Test::More, File::Spec, File::Find and Carp modules.
