RMI::Client::Tcp - do RMI over a TCP/IP socket

SYNOPSIS

$c = RMI::Client::Tcp->new(
    host => 'myserver.com', # defaults to 'localhost'
    port => 1234            # defaults to 10293
);
$c->call_use('IO::File');

DESCRIPTION

This subclass of RMI::Client makes a TCP/IP socket connection to an RMI::Server::Tcp. See RMI::Server::Tcp for details on server options.

See the general RMI description for an overview of how RMI::Client and RMI::Servers interact, and examples. Seee RMI::Client for details on the general client API.

METHODS

This class overrides the constructor for a default RMI::Client to make a socket connection. That socket is both the reader and writer handle for the client.
