Frontier::RPC implements UserLand Software's XML RPC (Remote Procedure
Calls using Extensible Markup Language). Frontier::RPC includes both a
client module for making requests to a server and a daemon module for
implementing servers. Frontier::RPC uses RPC2 format messages.
RPC client connections are made by creating instances of Frontier::Client
objects that record the server name, and then issuing `call' requests that
send a method name and parameters to the server.
RPC daemons are mini-HTTP servers (using HTTP::Daemon from the `libwww'
Perl module). Daemons are created by first defining the procedures you
want to make available to RPC and then passing a list of those procedures
as you create the Frontier::Daemon object.
The Frontier::RPC2 module implements the encoding and decoding of XML RPC
requests using the XML::Parser Perl module.
