Writing Client-Server Applications in Perl: Introduction

Introduction
The traditional architecture for applications is the stand-alone architecture. With this, all components of an application is executed in one giant program. This is ok if the application is meant to be used by one person on one machine at a time.

With the changes in technology AND business processes, this architecture has to change. We see several users now using the same application at the same time accessing the same database(s).
Obviously, this architecture has to change to accomodate changes in the way applications are used.
