Dispatch SRU methods with Catalyst

## NAME

Catalyst::Controller::SRU - Dispatch SRU methods with Catalyst

## SYNOPSIS

```
    package MyApp::Controller::SRU;
    # use it as a base controller
    use base qw( Catalyst::Controller::SRU );

    # explain, scan and searchretrieve methods
    sub explain {
        my ( $self, $c,
            $sru_request,  # ISA SRU::Request::Explain
            $sru_response, # ISA SRU::Response::Explain
        ) = @_;
    }

    sub scan {
        my ( $self, $c,
            $sru_request,  # ISA SRU::Request::Scan
            $sru_response, # ISA SRU::Response::Scan
            $cql,          # ISA CQL::Parser root node
        ) = @_;
    }

    sub searchRetrieve {
        my ( $self, $c,
            $sru_request,  # ISA SRU::Request::SearchRetrieve
            $sru_response, # ISA SRU::Response::SearchRetrieve
            $cql,          # ISA CQL::Parser root node
        ) = @_;
    }
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module allows your controller class to dispatch SRU actions (`"explain"`, `"scan"`, and `"searchRetrieve"`) from its own class.

## METHODS

### index : Private

This method will create an SRU request, response and possibly a CQL object based on the type of SRU request it finds. It will then pass the data over to your customized method.
