=head1 NAME

rpc-client -- example XML RPC client

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 rpc-client [--debug] [--encoding ENCODING] [--proxy PROXY] \
     URL METHOD ["ARGLIST"]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

`C<rpc-client>' exercises an XML RPC server.  I<URL> is the URL of the
RPC server to contact, including a path if necessary, like `C</RPC2>'.
I<METHOD> is the procedure to call on the remote server.

`C<"I<ARGLIST>">' is the argument list to be sent to the remote server.
I<ARGLIST> may include Perl array and hash constructors and should
always be quoted.

The result returned from the XML RPC server is displayed using Perl's
`dumpvar.pl' utility, showing the internal structure of the objects
returned from the server.

The `C<--debug>' option will cause the client to print the XML request
sent to and XML response received from the server.

The `C<--encoding>' option will supply an alternate encoding for the
XML request.  The default is none, which uses XML 1.0's default of
UTF-8.

The `C<--proxy>' option is a URL of an HTTP proxy to pass the request
through.
