Perl Client Toolkit: The Future

• Better asynchronous interface, particularly to retrival (``wait until later'' - how much later?) Probably using nominated callbacks.

• Better interface for fetching fields without needing to grub around in the record structure.

• Fix COMSTACK nonsense to handle asynchronous connect failure.

• Support extra fields of APDUs, e.g. otherInfo in initResponse for returning initialisation diagnostics according to the Implementors Agreement.

• Support for SORT, SCAN, etc.

• No need to support Explain or Extended Services, since these are only uses of the existing search-and-retrieve services. An additional layer may be helpful, though.

• Hard to use in GUI-driven programs due to different event loops. Should probably genericise by inventing inside-out event API. Hard!
