Kharon

Kharon is a simple and lightweight Perl RPC library that provides tight integration with KNC as well as UNIX domain sockets and forked programs. It provides an OO model which can be conceptualised as remotely calling an object. It is mainly intended at the moment for relatively small client/server applications written to automate basic procedures. It is used as the basis of the OSKT Kerberos administrative tools krb5_admin and krb5_keytab.

It provides:

automatic failover,
server side redirection,
marshalling and unmarshalling of relatively complex Perl data structures containing an arbitrarily nested list of scalars, undef, array refs and hash refs, and
exception propagation.
