NAME RPC::pServer, RPC::pClient - Perl extensions for writing pRPC servers and clients DESCRIPTION pRPC-modules (Perl RPC) is a package that simplifies the writing of Perl based client/server applications. RPC::pServer is the package used on the server side, and you guess what RPC::pClient is for. See the RPC::pServer(3) and RPC::pClient(3) manpages for detailed information. pRPC works by defining a set of of functions that may be executed by the client. For example, the server might offer a function "multiply" to the client. Now a function call @result = $con->Call('multiply', $a, $b); on the client will be mapped to a corresponding call multiply($con, $data, $a, $b); on the server. The function call's result will be returned to the client and stored in the array @result. Simple, eh? :-) AUTHOR Jochen Wiedmann Am Eisteich 9 72555 Metzingen Germany Email: wiedmann@neckar-alb.de Phone: +49 7123 14881 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1997 Jochen Wiedmann You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file.
