in reply to Another forking question!

If the "already running" script can be strictly in a "serve all comers" mode, and not working on things independantly, you can create a "mini-web-server" using a couple of my WebTechniques Perl Columns as examples: in particular the ones on "the doctor is in (part 1/2)".

As a remote procedure call protocol on top of that, consider SOAP or WDDX, both in the CPAN.

    If you want something like this but a bit simpler you could try PlRPC.

    This is much more perl specific than the modules merlyn mentioned though.
