NAME

SRU::Request::Explain - A class for representing SRU explain requests

SYNOPSIS

    ## creating a new request
    my $request = SRU::Request::Explain->new( 
        base=>'http://www.example.com/sru' );

DESCRIPTION

SRU::Request::Explain is a class for representing SRU 'explain' requests. Explain requests essentially ask the server to describe its services.

METHODS

new()

The constructor, which you must pass the parameter base and the optional parameters: version, recordPacking, stylesheet, and extraRequestData parameters.

    my $request = SRU::Request::Explain->new( 
        base        => 'http://www.example.com/sru', 
        version     => '1.1',
        stylesheet  => 'http://www.example.com/styles/mystyle.xslt'
    );

Normally you'll probably want to use the factory SRU::Response::newFromURI to create requests, instead of calling new() yourself.

base()

Returns the base location of the SRU service.

version()

recordPacking()

stylesheet()

extraRequestData()
