Yes I think that *not* having to use XMLMethod as the base and simply calling a subroutine of XMLMethod would make it easier to understand what is happening and more readable in general.

Originally when I wrote I was envisioning not having to have anything obviously rpc related in the MyPackage bit, other than use base XMLMethod. This, for me, would have been very elegant. Have a package with a set of subroutines, add the use base XMLMethod and whallah, the package is now set up for xml rpc.

I felt I couldn't do this reliably though, so I conceeded making the export_procedures sub. I guess the export_procedures sub is not as declarative as something like the rpc_method you suggested, and If I'm going to abandon the original idea of how the XMLMethod should work then maybe there is no point in 'kinda sorta' implementing in the manner it is currently.
