PlRPC — this has been a dependency of the DBI package (via DBI::ProxyServer) for almost a decade. As such, it is mature and widely-available.
DBD::Proxy + DBI::ProxyServer — has been part of the DBI package for almost a decade
both IPC AND event processing in one
- IPC::PerlSSH — DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY DEPENDENCIES ON THE REMOTE END!!
- GRID::Machine — SAME AS IPC::PerlSSH — it requires no extra dependencies on the remote end
  - this is accomplished via Grid/Machine.pm's read_modules(), which concatenates the contents of the desired pure-Perl libraries (presumably it wouldn't work well with xs modules?)
- SSH::RPC
- Event::RPC — while it does require 'Event' to be installed, it only requires that on the server side
- Proc::Parallel
- AnyEvent::MP
RPC, but no events (does this mean they're not asynchronous?)
- RPC::Serialized (particularly note RPC::Serialized::Server::STDIO)
- RPC::Object
- pRPC
  - NOTE: DBD::Proxy relies on this!
- RPC::Simple (asynchronous)
- RPC::Async
- RPC::Lite
unsure -- TODO: examine these a little more, figure out if they'll do what I want
- Sub::Slice
IPC::LDT — length based IPC protocol
Storable::fd_retrieve + IO::Select allows you to send messages across the wire, no?
event-processing systems
- AnyEvent — see that page for a list of other popular Perl modules that do event-loop processing
- IO::Event — looks simple enough
- IO::EventMux
other interesting modules that are sorta similar
- Supervisor
- Expect-like wizardry
  - IO::Pty
  - Expect.pm
- SSH wizardry
  
  Net::OpenSSH — VERY nice
  Net::SSH::Expect — wrapper around the 'ssh' binary that allows Perl to pass in passwords!
