Hi there is also Z39.50 support in Catmandu https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu::Importer::Z3950
e.g. To fetch marc you can do: $ catmandu convert Z3950 --host z3950.loc.gov --port 7090 --databaseName Voyager --query "(title = dinosaur)" to MARC a Perl api is included.

Here is a link to a simple (read, “rudimentary”) Z39.50 search interface: http://sites.nd.edu/emorgan/2013/11/fun/ But I’m sure your mileage will vary.
