From: Rickard Sjostrom Date: 2006-08-07T23:55:43+09:00 Subject: Ruby-Perl IPC messaging API (idea from SOAP) Hi! I want to something like SOAP but with local IPC (dont want to use HTTP and dont want to waste ports). In my case I want to be able to start Perl-scripts from Ruby without having to parse some strange self-invented text string from input/output to convert it to data structures, but I could probably easily implement this with XML but it would be nice if there exists some solution already. I guess that this means that I want to convert data structures to and from XML like SOAP does! Is there anything like this that can do it for me? /Rick -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
