VB client Perl Server

[alex1]

I have a VB.NET client application that needs to send double precision numbers

to the Perl server, have Perl make a couple of calculations and send the double

precision results back to VB.NET client. The communication is over internet and

Perl is on the web server.

 

I am thinking either straight TCP exchange on both sides, or use of SOAP on VB side and SOAP::Lite on Perl server. Perl server program would run as a script in cgi-bin. I saw some examples of VB to Perl server but how do I get the info back to VB from Perl, I have no idea.

 

Can anyone make a suggestion as to what would be the easiest way to do this ?

Thanx

I would agree. Web services and SOAP would be the best method for doing this.
