Summary: Perl extension for invoking the ZOOM-C API

Description: 

This module provides a simple thin-layer through to the ZOOM-C
functions in the YAZ toolkit for Z39.50 and SRW/U communication.  You
should not be using this very nasty, low-level API.  You should be
using the "ZOOM" module instead, which implements a nice, Perlish API
on top of this module, conformant to the ZOOM Abstract API described at
http://zoom.z3950.org/api/

To enforce the don't-use-this-module prohibition, I am not even going
to document it.  If you really, really, really want to use it, then it
pretty much follows the API described in the ZOOM-C documentation at
http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/doc/zoom.tkl

The only additional (non-ZOOM-C) function provided by this module is
"event_str()", which takes as its argument an event code such as
"Net::Z3950::ZOOM::EVENT_SEND_APDU", and returns a corresponding
short string.
