With the GNU C Compatible Compiler Processor, useful options are : =over 8 =item B<-D> I =item B<-D> I=I =item B<-I> I =item B<-I-> =item B<-nostdinc> =back Specific options : =over 8 =item B<-h> Display help. =item B<-i> I Specify a path for import (only for version 3.0). =item B<-J> I Specify a path for Perl package importation (use I;). =item B<-v> Display version. =item B<-x> Enable export (only for version 3.0). =back =head1 DESCRIPTION B parses the given input file (IDL) and generates : =over 4 =item * a Perl client stub & server skeleton I.pm for RPC-GIOP =back B is a Perl OO application what uses the visitor design pattern. The parser is generated by Parse::Yapp. B needs a B executable. CORBA Specifications, including IDL (Interface Definition Language) are available on Ehttp://www.omg.org/E. CORBA mapping for Perl [mapping.pod - Draft 1, 7 October 1999] comes with the package CORBA::MICO or CORBA::ORBit. =head1 TUTORIAL =head2 RPC-GIOP RPC-GIOP is an another RPC (Remote Procedure Call) mecanism. RPC-GIOP reuses a subset of CORBA GIOP messages, but don't deal with any CORBA ORB (Object Request Broker). RPC-GIOP reuses the CORBA CDR (Common Data Representation) transfer syntax. An interface (a set of operations) is defined with CORBA IDL (Interface Definition Language). RPC-GIOP has a lot of common properties with CORBA GIOP : =over 8 =item * needs a reliable transport layer (typically TCP/IP) =item * uses a binary format (CDR) =item * is interoperable (byte-order) =back =head2 EXAMPLE 1 Use F as current directory. The file F describes the interface of a simple calculator. First, run : idl2pmrpc calculator.idl Second, run the server (see srv_calc.pm that contains the implementation) : perl server.pl Third, run the client (Tkinter based) perl client.pl =head1 SEE ALSO cpp, idl2html, idl2pm =head1 COPYRIGHT (c) 2004-2008 FranEois PERRAD, France.
