This module provides use_riap_package(), usually used as shown in Synopsis, a la Perl's use().
Usage:
use_riap_package(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]
Use a Riap package as if it was a local Perl module.
"Use" a remote code package over Riap protocol as if it was a local Perl module. Actually, what is being done is query the remote URL for available functions, and for each remote function, create a proxy function. The proxy function will then call the remote function.
Currently only functions are imported. Variables and other entities are ignored.
This function is not exported.

include => array[str]
Do not load all children, only load specified ones.
into* => str
Perl package name to put proxy functions into.
Example: 'Foo::Bar', 'Example::Module'.
url* => str
Location of Riap package entity.
Example: '/Foo/Bar/' (local Perl module), 'http://example.com/api/Module/'.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
Return value: (undef)
