I second that! XML-RPC is *very* easy to use from Perl or many other
common languages. The technologies involved are simple and common: xml,
http. The first time I tried XML-RPC, it took about an hour to set up
a (perl based) server that a python program could contact, run code, and
retrieve results from.
SOAP is another RPC like protocol that is quite similar to XML-RPC, but
is a little more complex and difficult to use. Because of the complexity,
not all SOAP implementations are compatible with eachother.
