Perl examples / tutorials for learning Apache Thrift with Perl

sam_bakki has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Gurus

I am trying to understand and learn Apache Thrift. Since I am perl programmer, i would like to learn it in perl way. I have downloaded Thrift compiler for Windows and I could generate perl code using a simple .thrift file.

I am lost from here. I dont know , how to build client / servers and how to proceed.

Any monk working on Perl + Thrift ??? If so can you please guide me? My intention is to build a sample web service (That adds two numbers and send the results back). I could do it with XMLRPC-Lite, SOAP-Lite, Now i would like to learn it in Thrift.

Thanks & Regards,
Bakkiaraj M

If I understand correctly, you create the interface file, you compile interface file (generate code), then you implement the server (create a subclass of interface and write real code for the stubs), and client (create some objects, connect to server, send objects, call methods ) generate cpp/perl code and compare tutorial\gen-cpp\SharedService_server.skeleton.cpp to tutorial\cpp\CppServer.cpp to perl/PerlServer.pl, its a simple subclass I compiled this list of resources, I marked the best introductions with * Apache Thrift http://diwakergupta.github.com/thrift-missing-guide/ Getting started - Apache Thrift quick tutorial * Our own "Hello World" - Apache Thrift quick tutorial http://thrift.apache.org/ trunk/tutorial/ * tutorial/tutorial.thrift * tutorial/perl/PerlServer.pl * tutorial/perl/PerlClient.pl http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ ThriftUsage ThriftUsagePerl Perl client for Facebook’s scribe logging software Tutorial http://jnb.ociweb.com/jnb/jnbJun2009.html thrift-server ngix how to deploy a hardened Thrift server for python? http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpUpstreamModule perl-thrift Perl Thrift client to Hive? http://stackoverflow.com/a/5312171 Hive Thrift client thrift based service Creating a OSGi based Thrift Service Apache Thrift Quickstart Tutorial Securing a Thrift service apache-thrift based service Apache Thrift Tutorial – The Sequel How to I get started with Apache Thrift? * Thrift–Part One: Introduction * Thrift–Part Two: Base programs * Thrift-Part Three: Downloading and Installing Thrift * Thrift-Part Four: Write and Compile a .thrift File * Thrift–Part Five: Implementing Java Server * Thrift–Part Six: Implementing C# client * Thrift-Part Seven: Implementing PHP Client	[reply]
