This is the README file for SRPC::* , a bunch of Perl classes to perform simple remote procedure calls. I've tried to keep things simple. So this module should be : - quite simple to use (thanks to autoload mechanisms) - lightweight It sure is not : - DCE - CORBA - bulletproof - securityproof - foolproof But it works. (Although I'm opened to suggestion regarging the "un- proof" areas) This module was written with perl5.004. See the embedded documentation in the module for more details. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Note that this module is in alpha state. Its interface may change (but I hope not). Alpha exit criteria: - When some peoples (well, say 10 guys) tell me that they've used it and did not find major bug with the module or minor problems with the interface.
