Very cool stuff indeed. > I converted their demo app -> http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/sajax- > 0.8/php/example_multiply.php to one running on my code using C::A -> > http://www.unobserved.org/misc/rs/ > [*SNIP*] > > The example uses 2 very simple run-modes, a multiply and a divide run- > mode.

It uses a library called JSRS [2]. I've written a perl module to interface with the library -- it can be found under the JavaScript::RPC namespace [3]. My module works slightly different in that you need to use it as your base class. Also, method parameters are sent to the sub via @_ rather than through the query string errors are reported just by die()ing. (Though, obviously you could write a module to do things similarly for AJAX) You can see these differences in the demo usage [4]. Anyway, I'm glad that this is finally becoming main-stream -- perhaps it will influence the way we write applications.
