   That's what I thought about when talking about C[++] ORBs. I guess that
we may have a Perl BSA-module calling a C[++] ORB. But I am still not sure
if it is worth to do it, or to wait for perl-native valuetypes.
   Also I would speculate about a "wrapper client" not a "wrapper server".
I would use perl binding for clients but probably (at least at the moment)
I would not program the server side in Perl (the OpenBSA has already a BSA
server running - and it uses also perl but only for parsing analysis
results, not for the corba stuff).
