32At the moment, this module family is severly brokena nd underdocumented,
33so do not use. This was uploaded mainly to resreve the CPAN namespace -

45by a port name. 49by a port name (a printable string of unspecified format).

113The C<NODE ()> function and the C<$NODE> variable contain the noderef of
114the local node. The value is initialised by a call to C<become_public> or
115C<become_slave>, after which all local port identifiers become invalid.

163
164Send the given message to the given port ID, which can identify either a
165local or a remote port.
166
167While the message can be about anything, it is highly recommended to use
168a constant string as first element.
169
170The message data effectively becomes read-only after a call to this
171function: modifying any argument is not allowed and can cause many
172problems.
173
174The type of data you can transfer depends on the transport protocol: when
175JSON is used, then only strings, numbers and arrays and hashes consisting
176of those are allowed (no objects). When Storable is used, then anything
177that Storable can serialise and deserialise is allowed, and for the local
178node, anything can be passed.

197Register a callback on the port identified by C<$portid>, which I<must> be
198a local port.
199
200The callback has to return a true value when its work is done, after
201which is will be removed, or a false value in which case it will stay
202registered.
203
204If the match is an array reference, then it will be matched against the
205first elements of the message, otherwise only the first element is being
206matched.
207
208Any element in the match that is specified as C<_any_> (a function
209exported by this module) matches any single element of the message.
210
211While not required, it is highly recommended that the first matching
212element is a string identifying the message. The one-string-only match is
213also the most efficient match (by far).

374=head1 NODE MESSAGES
375
376Nodes understand the following messages sent to them. Many of them take
377arguments called C<@reply>, which will simply be used to compose a reply
378message - C<$reply[0]> is the port to reply to, C<$reply[1]> the type and
379the remaining arguments are simply the message data.
