NAME

Frontier::Client - issue Frontier XML RPC requests to a server

SYNOPSIS

 use Frontier::Client;

 $server = Frontier::Client->new(url => $url);

 $result = $server->call($method, @args);

 $boolean = $server->boolean($value);
 $date_time = $server->date_time($value);
 $base64 = $server->base64($value);

 $value = $boolean->value;
 $value = $date_time->value;
 $value = $base64->value;

DESCRIPTION

Frontier::Client objects record the URL of the server to connect to. The `call' method is then used to forward procedure calls to the server, either returning the value returned by the procedure or failing with exception.

The methods `boolean', `date_time', and `base64' create and return XML-RPC-specific datatypes that can be passed to the server. Results from servers may also contain these datatypes. The corresponding package names (for use with `ref()', for example) are `Frontier::RPC2::Boolean', `Frontier::RPC2::DateTime::ISO8601', and `Frontier::RPC2::Base64'.

The value of boolean, date/time, and base64 data are returned using the `value' method.
