Re: Getting started with Z39.50

Hi there is also Z39.50 support in Catmandu

https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu::Importer::Z3950

e.g. To fetch marc you can do:

$ catmandu convert Z3950 --host z3950.loc.gov --port 7090 --databaseName Vo=
yager --query "(title =3D dinosaur)" to MARC

a Perl api is included.

But I=92m sure your mileage will vary.

If you are comfortable with Perl, then I suggest you play with Yaz/Zoom:
