It's based on sockets and Storable.pm, so it's quite lightweight. It also plays nicely with OO, so it's pretty easy to retrofit onto an existing class library, with a small amount of effort. The docs aren't up to much, though. And you'll need something else if you want to have non-perl solutions calling your servers. As was mentioned elsewhere, the SOAP::Lite module appears to be very popular for this purpose, although if you really want to, you could take the heavyweight route and use something like CORBA::ORBit. -Dom
