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.
