Wise monks,

I'm currently using SOAP::Lite to make calls between different component of my application.

I use SOAP::Lite under mod_perl/apache

My usefull server side function call take something like 10ms to execute. But the SOAP communication layer introduce an overhead of something like 300ms ..

SOAP is definitely great to easily expose an API to the world. But internally, I'm wondering if something as simple and more performant could exist.

My Ideal module (which I may write if it doesn't exist ..) would have those features:

• Be as easy to use as SOAP::Lite
• Be only dedicated to perl <-> perl communication
• Be a lot faster than soap, using something like Data::Dumper / eval for data marshalling/unmarshalling

Any idea ?

Thanks for your emlightments.
