XMLRPC::Lite also works ok (apart from a minor hiccup with returned
numeric values). So far I've only tried it with XPath, not XUPDate,
but I assume that would be ok too.

But the whole approach of using XMLRPC has problems for me:

1. I want to store a mix of English/Russian (UTF8) text contents (the
XMLRPC plugin doesn't seem to support this)  
2. It seems a very slow way to do things

So the obvious alternative is to use a CORBA client and access xindice
more directly. Has anyone done this from perl? 

And the planning document says 'CORBA will be dropped'. Is this definite?
Will there be some kind of replacement to allow a more persistent
connection than XML-RPC from languages other than Java?

So many questions ;-)
