Thanks for the recommendation. I've been using other's Perl scripts and libraries
to do link checks on an internal site (a package called webxrefs.pl) that was
satisfactory. (I mean that it worked great doing what it was supposed to do, but
the people that I had to give its output to were slightly overwhelmed by its output
format...I think it told them "too much")

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) involves piping processes over a network, and I am by no
means an expert on the protocol. I'm not sure how Glimpse or WAIS database query
results (is that what you're asking?) would benefit. Those tools may already
utilize RPC operations.
