This is a module that parses WDDX packets. Which are well supported in Allaire Coldfusion, and pretty useful. This is from the WDDX.org web site: "The Web Distributed Data Exchange, or WDDX, is a free, open XML-based technology that allows Web applications created with any platform to easily exchange data with one another over the Web." For more information about WDDX, visit http://www.wddx.org/. For information about using Perl with WDDX (including examples) you can also visit WWW: http://www.scripted.com/wddx/
