State of the ZOOM-API implementation in perl?

Hi,

I am trying to establish an SRU connection with perl using the ZOOM API 
(http://zoom.z3950.org/api/). CPAN module Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.20 says that 
the class

ZOOM::Connection

"represents a connection to an information retrieval server, using an IR 
protocol such as ANSI/NISO Z39.50, SRW (the Search/Retrieve Webservice), 
SRU (the Search/Retrieve URL) or OpenSearch."

But the sources look like only Z39.50 has been implemented so far. 
Moreover the documented method to define the connection

[scheme:]host[:port][/databaseName]

does not seem to fit for SRU because in SRU you don't have a 
"databaseName" but a full path - for instance in

http://herbie.bl.uk:9080/cgi-bin/blils.cgi

what's the databaseName?

Anyhow - What's the status of ZOOM? Will there be support for SRU and 
OpenSearch (the latter can be implemented by wrapping WWW::OpenSearch) 
or will ZOOM stay limited to Z39.50?

Greetings,
Jakob
