NAME

RPC::Object - A lightweight implementation for remote procedure calls

SYNOPSIS

On server

  use RPC::Object::Broker;
  $b = $RPC::Object::Broker->new($port);
  $b->start();

On client

  use RPC::Object;
  $o = RPC::Object->new("$host:$port", 'method_a', 'TestModule');
  my $ans1 = $o->method_b($arg1, $arg2);
  my @ans2 = $o->method_c($arg3, $arg4);

Please see more examples in the eg/ directory.

DESCRIPTON

RPC::Object is designed to be very simple and only works between Perl codes, This makes its implementation only need some core Perl modules, e.g. IO and Storable.

Other approaches like SOAP or XML-RPC are too heavy for simple tasks.
