Don't worry about the acronym "REST" and just think about calling URIs on remote machines with LWP (or maybe HTTP::GHTTP for speed). You pass in some data, which could just be a big chunk of Storable if you don't want the overhead of XML, and get back some data, which again could be done with Storable. You implement the remote calls by writing mod_perl handlers (or whatever you like that handles HTTP requests and is fast).

However, I don't really understand why you're passing around lots of data in the first place. I would implement this sort of thing by having all data in/out go through MySQL tables, and just use these remote calls to trigger operations, not to pass data.
