720=item cal $port, @msg, $callback[, $timeout]
721
722A simple form of RPC - sends a message to the given C<$port> with the
723given contents (C<@msg>), but adds a reply port to the message.
724
725The reply port is created temporarily just for the purpose of receiving
726the reply, and will be C<kil>ed when no longer needed.
727
728A reply message sent to the port is passed to the C<$callback> as-is.
729
730If an optional time-out (in seconds) is given and it is not C<undef>,
731then the callback will be called without any arguments after the time-out
732elapsed and the port is C<kil>ed.
733
734If no time-out is given, then the local port will monitor the remote port
735instead, so it eventually gets cleaned-up.
736
737Currently this function returns the temporary port, but this "feature"
738might go in future versions unless you can make a convincing case that
739this is indeed useful for something.
