=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

 |

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.
