JNP> Yah. yah++. i said it does much more :). and i prefer async communucations over sync in most cases. one reason is that you can easily emulate sync with an async system, it is almost impossible the other way around. stem .11 (still to be released) has a CLI example which has effectively an RPC like api from an external process into a stem server. you can either inject a proper stem message and get one in return or inject an object/structure and get one in return. both are sync from the external point fo view and that makes them basically RPC. it just isn't called that and i may change that just to get people to know stem has RPC support JNP> I like the Event::RPC API. That's my cursory evaluation. haven't looked at it yet. Jörn, you should sign up for the perl-loop list (we are cc'ing it). i haven't checked out the other RPC modules but there are a bunch on cpan. possibly you could steal^Wlearn a few ideas from them. :). uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
