How on earth does that module send coderefs to other machines? That's magic. (me - confused... ) Um. Neither I nor the OP mentioned sending coderefs to other machines. If you are basing this off of the part where I said "should be able to do just about anything," I am sorry I wasn't more clear. I also think that it would not allow you to achieve world domination or various other things unrelated to message queuing (which I didn't specify specifically). On another note - I think that if you wanted to open up your system to arbitrary code execution, and if your coderefs were simple enough, you could pass them through the message queue using B::Deparse and eval. I guess really that module doesn't do anything that you don't tell it too. my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];	[reply]

For the record, I mistook the on_complete trigger from the example for sending a coderef to one of the job servers. Upon re-reading it, I see only the string code (1+2) goes to the servers... my bad. `use Gearman::Client; my $client = Gearman::Client->new; $client->job_servers('127.0.0.1', '10.0.0.1'); $taskset->add_task( "add" => "1+2", { on_complete => sub { ... } });` [download] It's still pretty magical imo, but nolonger seems like some kind of dark arts. -Paul	[reply] [d/l]
