Hi,

I've just uploaded perlrpcgen-0.7a.tar.gz to PAUSE and it should be at
your local CPAN site shortly. See

  http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/id/JAKE/

perlrpcgen generates Perl modules and server shells (which embed Perl)
from RPC interface definitions. Your Perl clients and servers can then
interoperate with clients and servers written in C or other
languages. Or you can use RPC as a simple IPC mechanism from one Perl
process to another.

The package includes a simple dictionary service (based on DB_File)
and a tied interface to it.

This version has been tested only on Solaris 2.5.1. If you're willing
to help me test and debug it on another platform please let me know.

Jake
