You did notice lib/Event.pod?

Hm hm.  Admittedly, Event-tcp is a little bit cryptic.  It provides
basic remote procedure calls using pack/unpack for marshalling.  You can
also implement your own marshalling.  Be aware that performance will not
be as good as an implementation written in C.  I haven't done any
benchmarks, but I'm sure it's not *super* fast.

If you have further specific questions then I am happy to comment.

Hope this helps,
