∟RPC::XML - Perl Implementation of XML-RPC

This chapter provides tutorial examples and notes on the RPC::XML Perl module. Topics include introduction of RPC::XML classes: server, client, request, etc.; installing of NMake 1.5 and RPC::XML 0.57; sample server and client programs supporting 3 remote methods; sending arrays with remote method calls.

What Is RPC::XML?

RPC::XML::Server - XML-RPC Server Interface Class

RPC::XML Client and Data Classes

Installing NMake 1.5

Installing RPC::XML Module

RpcXmlServer.pl - RPC::XML Server Sample Program

RpcXmlClient.pl - RPC::XML Client Sample Program

Sending Arrays with Remote Method Calls

Conclusion:

• RPC::XML is indeed a simple Perl implementation of the XML-PRC protocol.
• A "make" utility, NMake, on Windows is needed to help installing RPC::XML.
• It's very easy to a sample server/client program to test RPC::XML functions.
• RPC::XML passes arrays as hard references.
