NAME
RPC::Async - Asynchronous RPC framework
DESCRIPTION
This set of module implements remote procedure calls between perl
programs. It is special in that control flow does not halt until the
call has completed. Instead, the call completes in the background until
it eventually returns, triggering a callback function in the client. By
using anonymous sub references (closures) in Perl, such control flow can
be made to look quite linear despite being non-blocking and interleaved.
This module uses IO::EventMux, the event-based frontend to select(2), to
do parallel I/O without using threads. Users of this module must use
IO::EventMux to control their main loop, but this is still very
flexible.
The two ends of this framework are documented in RPC::Async::Client and
RPC::Async::Server.
