Check out IndexData's SimpleServer [1]
SimpleServer is a Perl module which is intended to make it as simple
as possible to develop new Z39.50 servers over any type of database
imaginable. All you have to do is implement a function for
initializing your database (optional), searching the database, and
returning "database records" on request. The module takes care of
everything else and automatically starts a server for you, listens
to incoming connections, and implements the Z39.50 protocol. It
couldn't really be easier.
