Net::Z3950::DBIServer::GRS1 - build GRS-1 records for DBIServer
$rec = Net::Z3950::DBIServer::GRS1::format( { title=>'Mr', forename=>'Eric', surname=>'1/2 Bee' }, $config);
This non-OO module exists only to provide a single function which formats a set of fields as a GRS-1 record.
format()
$rec = Net::Z3950::DBIServer::GRS1::format($hashref, $config);
Creates and returns, as an unblessed string, a new GRS-1 record
containing the specified fields according to the configuration
specified in the database-and-record-syntax-specific configuration
segment $config, of type Net::Z3950::DBIServer::Config::PerDB
.
Because of the way the underlying SimpleServer
module deals with
GRS-1 records, the record is returned as a human-readable string.
That's surprising - at least it surprises me. But I've had to deal
with it, so I don't see why you shouldn't too.
