Ken MacLeod 已经实现了 Perl 的 XML-RPC。你可以在他的 网站 或通过 CPAN 找到他的 Frontier::RPC 模块。
要安装 Frontier::RPC,请下载软件包并以标准方式编译它
bash$ gunzip -c Frontier-RPC-0.07b1.tar.gz | tar xvf - bash$ cd Frontier-RPC-0.07b1 bash$ perl Makefile.PL bash$ make bash$ make test bash$ su -c 'make install' |
(在 Windows 系统上,或者如果你没有 root 访问权限,这个过程会略有不同。详情请查阅你的 Perl 文档。)
以下程序展示了如何从 Perl 调用 XML-RPC 服务器
use Frontier::Client; # Make an object to represent the XML-RPC server. $server_url = 'http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/api/sample.php'; $server = Frontier::Client->new(url => $server_url); # Call the remote server and get our result. $result = $server->call('sample.sumAndDifference', 5, 3); $sum = $result->{'sum'}; $difference = $result->{'difference'}; print "Sum: $sum, Difference: $difference\n"; |
以下程序展示了如何用 Perl 编写一个 XML-RPC 服务器
use Frontier::Daemon; sub sumAndDifference { my ($x, $y) = @_; return {'sum' => $x + $y, 'difference' => $x - $y}; } # Call me as http://localhost:8080/RPC2 $methods = {'sample.sumAndDifference' => \&sumAndDifference}; Frontier::Daemon->new(LocalPort => 8080, methods => $methods) or die "Couldn't start HTTP server: $!"; |
Frontier::RPC2没有为基于 CGI 的服务器提供内置支持。但是,它确实提供了你将需要的大部分组件。
将以下代码保存为sumAndDifference.cgi在你的 Web 服务器的cgi-bin目录中。(在 Unix 系统上,你需要通过输入以下命令使其可执行chmod +x sumAndDifference.cgi.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Frontier::RPC2; sub sumAndDifference { my ($x, $y) = @_; return {'sum' => $x + $y, 'difference' => $x - $y}; } process_cgi_call({'sample.sumAndDifference' => \&sumAndDifference}); #========================================================================== # CGI Support #========================================================================== # Simple CGI support for Frontier::RPC2. You can copy this into your CGI # scripts verbatim, or you can package it into a library. # (Based on xmlrpc_cgi.c by Eric Kidd <http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/>.) # Process a CGI call. sub process_cgi_call ($) { my ($methods) = @_; # Get our CGI request information. my $method = $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}; my $type = $ENV{'CONTENT_TYPE'}; my $length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; # Perform some sanity checks. http_error(405, "Method Not Allowed") unless $method eq "POST"; http_error(400, "Bad Request") unless $type eq "text/xml"; http_error(411, "Length Required") unless $length > 0; # Fetch our body. my $body; my $count = read STDIN, $body, $length; http_error(400, "Bad Request") unless $count == $length; # Serve our request. my $coder = Frontier::RPC2->new; send_xml($coder->serve($body, $methods)); } # Send an HTTP error and exit. sub http_error ($$) { my ($code, $message) = @_; print <<"EOD"; Status: $code $message Content-type: text/html <title>$code $message</title> <h1>$code $message</h1> <p>Unexpected error processing XML-RPC request.</p> EOD exit 0; } # Send an XML document (but don't exit). sub send_xml ($) { my ($xml_string) = @_; my $length = length($xml_string); print <<"EOD"; Status: 200 OK Content-type: text/xml Content-length: $length EOD # We want precise control over whitespace here. print $xml_string; } |
你可以将实用程序例程复制到你自己的 CGI 脚本中。
