[RDF] Simple Object Access Protocol, anyone?

On popular demand:

Jonas, how difficult would it be to do the following in the fanatically
flexible 'Practical Extraction and Reporting Language'?

a) Wrapping STDOUT and the return-value of a process initiated thru CGI
in a bit more STDOUT on the form:

<result>
  <value>
    {return-value}
  </value>
  <output>
    {STDOUT output}
  </output>
</result>

b) Chaining a function call to an URL, so all the calls to
funktion(param1, param2)
results in:
  - an POST access to the chained URL:en with the following content:
<request>
  <parameter>
    {param1}
  </parameter>
  <parameter>
    {param2}
  </parameter>
</request>
and taking the result as of a) above, returning it as the function
result.

c) Making an function in a CGI-script compatible with a) and b)

Everything of course seamless, preferrably defining a function with
something like 'sub funktion REMOTE (url)', to chain it to the URL, and
'USE Wraf::Remote' in the CGI-Script.

Optionally - an packet#function - construct to collect multiple
functions in a simgle file.

Catch my drift?
