Language neutrality

An issue about language neutrality. You have the method names of the  
form;

   samp.hub.isAlive( )

in the XML-RPC mapping of the Standard Profile. This is of course  
very Java-centric.

For instance. the period is not a valid identifier in Perl where you  
can't have a method name with a full stop in it. This means that auto- 
dispatch from a Perl XML-RPC server is very hard (if not impossible)  
to implement.
