=head1 DESCRIPTION


=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 BUILD

Constructor (Not used at the moment)

=head2 DEMOLISH

Destructor

=head2 get_login

Retrieve the login (uid) of the rpc client object.

  $login = $rpc->get_login();

=head2 rpc_selfpasswd

Set own password.

  1|0 = $rpc->rpc_login( { password=>$password } );

=head2 rpc_ping

Test if the server is up.

  1|0 = $rpc->rpc_ping();

=head2 rpc_login

Perform a log in.

  1|0 = $rpc->rpc_login();

=head2 rpc_logout

Perform a log out.

  1|0 = $rpc->rpc_logout();

=head2 rpc_ttl

Returns the TTL via rpc_intern.

  $ttl = $rpc->rpc_ttl();

=head2 rpc_session

Returns a ticket or 0;

  my $ticket = $rpc->rpc_session();

=head2 rpc_cat_module_cache_size

Returns the cache size via rpc_intern.

  $integer = $rpc->rpc_cat_module_cache_size();

=head2 rpc_rpc_intern_cache_size

Returns the cache size via rpc_intern.

  $integer = $rpc->rpc_rpc_intern_cache_size();

=head2 rpc_task_cache_size

Returns the cache size via rpc_intern.

  $integer = $rpc->rpc_task_cache_size();

=head2 rpc_flush

Flush the cache via rpc_intern.

  0|1 = $rpc->rpc_flush();

=head2 rpc_check_access

Aggregate several check access subcommands.


  ( $from, $r_hr ) = $rpc->rpc_check_access({
     rpcmode    => rpc_intern|rpc_info,
     entity     => task   | rpc_intern | cat_module
     scope      => single | manifold,
     subcommand => user_task_access
                   | user_task_access_survey
                   | user_cat_module_access
                   | user_cat_module_access_survey
                   | user_rpc_intern_access
                   | user_rpc_intern_access_survey

     param_ar   => (rest send as to_ar)
  });

=head2 rpcev

Helper routine to evaluate calls.

     $ok   = $rpc->rpcev( 'ping',  \&{ $rpc->rpc_ping } );
     $ok   = $rpc->rpcev( 'login', \&{ $rpc->rpc_login } );
     $code = sub { return $rpc->xmlrpc(@_); }; # remains the same
     $a_hr = $rpc->rpcev 'list', $code, {cmd => 'cipux_task_list_student_accounts'} );
     $d_ar = $rpc->extract_data_for_tpl( {answer_hr => $a_hr, use_ltarget=>1} );
     print "Students on the system:\n";
     foreach my $l (@{$d_ar->{tpl_data_ar}}){ print "\t$l->{$d_ar->{ltarget}}\n";}
     $ok   = $rpc->rpcev( 'logout',\&{ $rpc->rpc_logout }, );


=head2 xmlrpc

Helper subroutine to executing XML-RPC calls.


  ($answer_hr, $ticket) = $rpc->xmlrpc({
        cmd    => 'cipux_task_*|rpc_intern|...',  # mandatory
        login  => $login,
        ticket => $ticket,
        param_hr => {},
  });

=head2 extract_data_for_tpl

Helper subroutine to extract data for using in web templates.
Encode it into UTF-8.

 $tpl_data_ar = $rpc->extract_data_for_tpl({answer_hr=>$answer_hr});
