+=head1 Net::Z3950::AsyncZ
+
+=head2 Intro
+
+Net::Z3950::AsyncZ adds an additional layer of asynchronous support for the Z3950 module through the use
+of multiple forked processes. I hope that users will also find that it provides a convenient
+front end to C<Net::Z3950>.  My initial idea was to write something that
+would provide a convenient means of processing and formatting Z39.50 records--which I
+did, using the C<Z3950> synchronous code.  But I also wanted something that could
+handle queries to large numbers of servers at one session. Working on this part of my
+project, I found that I had trouble with the C<Z3950> asynchronous features
+and so ended up with what I have here.

+=head2 The Modules
+
+=pod
+
+There are more modules than there is documentation. The reason for this
+is that the only module you have full and complete access to is
+C<Net::Z3950::AsyncZ>.  The other modules are either internal to C<Net::AsyncZ>
+or accessed indirectly or in part indirectly.
