Good input David ... Paul, You should ask yourself which kind of communication you want between your *client* and *server*: Synchronous or Asynchronous ?
I will personally choose an asynchronous communication for this kind of needs. (client doesn't need to wait a reply from server).

I always wanted to rewrite MQSeries. This might be the opportunity! Do you want to use TCP SOCKETS, or can you 'email' the data to the other server? I ask, because TCP-SOCKETS depend on evrything being available at the time you want it, and you have to handle your own connection problems manually. If you can email the data, you have a proven delivery mechanism to base the rest of your code on. Then your server code is run by placing '|myperlcode -w' into a '.forward' files.
