I've just started mixing SOAP and CGI::Application. Additionally I've added Crypt::RSA for authenticating the message passing/preventing tampering. I'll try to remember to let people know how things go.

"Distributed Objects" is a pretty general term. Please describe what it is you are thinking about doing. I find that "form follows function" -- before specifying particular technologies, it is imperative to define your functional goals (unless your goal is learning a particular technology). That said, I'm pretty warmed up to the SOAP interface: http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/ SOAP is lightweight interface for creating application functionality which is accessible over HTTP. It is sort of like a distant cousin to CORBA, DCOM, RMI, or RPC. It is supported by W3C. There are even a number of Perl modules on CPAN supporting it: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=SOAP I think SOAP has some real potential. I would be interested in hearing from CGI-App users who are working with SOAP about how CGI::Application can evolve to support SOAP even more effectively.
