## 13.3 Resources

The following resources have useful information on messaging and RPC:

1. EventServer

   EventServer, available on CPAN, provides a replacement for Msg's `event_loop` procedure and supports callbacks for file and time-out events.

2. Unix Network Programming. W. Richard Stevens. Prentice-Hall, 1990.

3. Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment. W. Richard Stevens. Prentice-Hall, 1992.

4. "A Note on Distributed Computing." Jim Waldo, Geoff Wyant, Ann Wollrath, and Sam Kendall. Available at http://www.sunlabs.com/techrep/1994/abstract-29.html (Technical Report TR-94-29).

   A very well-written report on the problems associated with RPC (the concept) and distributed computing in general. (In fact, other technical reports at SUN's research labs also make for good reading.)
