Hmm, I'm confused. I tried running your example in the pod documentation, and some process didn't get killed after die()ing on send_data(). I got curious, and placed a few debug statements:

me@myhost /home/me> perl test.pl
Listening on 55644
Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:55648: Bad file number at test.pl line 5 (*
+)
Caught SIGCHLD for 10701
^C
(*) I changed this die() to a croak()

Hmm?? Shared::Retriever is apparently listening on port 55644, and the new() of Shared::Local is trying to connect to 55648?

Wouldn't this then be better if you standardized on some default port, so that you can create Shared::Remote objects without knowing the remote port?

I apologize if I'm missing the point...
