sam_bakki has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Gurus

I am trying to understand and learn Apache Thrift. Since I am perl programmer, i would like to learn it in perl way. I have downloaded Thrift compiler for Windows and I could generate perl code using a simple .thrift file.

I am lost from here. I dont know , how to build client / servers and how to proceed.

Any monk working on Perl + Thrift ??? If so can you please guide me? My intention is to build a sample web service (That adds two numbers and send the results back). I could do it with XMLRPC-Lite, SOAP-Lite, Now i would like to learn it in Thrift.

Thanks & Regards,
Bakkiaraj M
