NAME

Net::OAI::Error - OAI-PMH errors.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Note: Actually this class implements the SAX filter which processes (and forwards) all top-level OAI-PMH elements.

Specifically the following events are not forwarded: OAI-PMH itself, request, responseDate and error.

Thus only events for the elements corresponding to the individual OAI-PMH verbs are forwarded.
