GRID::Machine::Message - Primitives for sending and receiving

DESCRIPTION

This class is used by both the local and the remote sides of the GRID::Machine. It implements the low level communication layer. It is responsible of marshalling the data.

The read_operation Method

Syntax:

my ( $operation, @args ) = $server->read_operation( );

Returns the kind of operation and the data sent by the other side of the SSH link.

The send_operation Method

Examples:

$server->send_operation("RETURNED", GRID::Machine::Result->new( %arg ));

$server->send_operation("DIED", GRID::Machine::Result->new( 
                                  errmsg  => "$server->{host}: $message")
);

$server->send_operation("RETURNED", exists($server->{stored_procedures}{$name}));
