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
------------

perl Makefile.PL
