Net::stomp allows you to write a stomp client. stomp is the streaming text orientated messaging protocol (or the protocol briefly known as ttmp and represented by the symbol :ttmp). it's a simple and easy to implement protocol for working with message orientated middleware from any language. net::stomp is useful for talking to apache activemq, an open source (apache 2.0 licensed) java message service 1.1 (jms) message broker packed with many enterprise features.

a stomp frame consists of a command, a series of headers and a body - see net::stomp::frame for more details.

for details on the protocol see http://stomp.codehaus.org/protocol.
