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? :-)
