ABSTRACT
    DDC::Concordance - Query and wrapper utilities for DDC concordance
    search engine

REQUIREMENTS
    IO::Socket::INET
    NetServer::Generic
        (for server wrapping)

    Text::Wrap
    Lingua::LTS
        (for LTS wrapping, see 'grimm/lts/Lingua-LTS' directory in the DWDS
        CVS Repository)

    a running DDC server
        (for client connection) Current sources for the DDC search engine
        should be available from
        http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddc-concordance/

DESCRIPTION
    The ddc-perl package provides object-oriented wrappers for querying
    and/or wrapping a DDC corpus index server. Also included in the
    distribution are some example scripts for querying a server, simple
    query expansion using an LTS transducer and an indexed 'pho' field, as
    well as a drop-in wrapper for an underlying DDC server which performs
    transparent query translation for an indexed 'pho' field.

  Current Version
    Current sources for this module should be available from CPAN (
    http://metacpan.org/release/ddc-perl ) or via sourceforce (
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddc-concordance/files/ddc-perl/ ).

KNOWN BUGS
  Conflicting CPAN module names
    Unforunately, the top-level DDC namespace conflicts with another module
    on CPAN, namely Torsten Raudssus' "DDC" from the "Data-Coloured"
    distribution ( https://metacpan.org/pod/DDC ). As a workaround to this
    problem, the top-level module for this package has been renamed to
    'DDC::Concordance' in ddc-perl v0.17. For backwards-compatibility, this
    distribution also contains a 'DDC.pm' which simply includes the new
    top-level 'DDC::Concordance' module. Subclass names (e.g. DDC::Client)
    have not been changed.
