=head1 DESCRIPTION

The DDC package provides object-oriented wrappers for querying and/or wrapping
a DDC corpus index server.  Also included in the distribution are some example
scripts for querying a server, simple query expansion using an LTS transducer
and an indexed 'pho' field, as well as a drop-in wrapper for an underlying
DDC server which performs transparent query translation for an indexed
'pho' field.
