Hi Michael,
Just to put another 2 cents in -- I have this exact same idea and
interest. I setup a project on Sourceforge for it
(sourceforge.net/projects/perlmq/) but haven't been able to put
together an initial ideas document yet. (Real life intrudes.)
JMS seems to me a good model to follow as well. Why not use all that
hard work lots of people have already done? :-)
My initial thoughts were to base both the client and server around
POE. Messages would be standard objects but would have different types
of payloads: scalar, hash, array, object, XML document. SOAP would be
another way to request/send messages as well.
There is a mailing list on the sourceforge site to which we can move
all this discussion, if you'd like. (That way it will all be archived
in one place :-)
Thanks!
Chris
