Without looking at the source to Net::Z3950, what about writing a generating a temporary Perl program that makes the query and prints serialized data? It might not be that efficient for serving a bazillion requests, but you could trap the error code. Hint: Use File::Temp to generate temporary files, Storable or YAML to do the serialization, and $^X to get the path to the currently running Perl executable. -- Ian Langworth _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
