I would simply use RPC::XML. There are a few gotchas if you get deep
into it (I've submitted patches for a few), and a moderate RTFM to begin
with, but it works well and reliably IME:

  my $client = RPC::XML::Client->new($xmlrpc_uri);
  $client->compress_requests(1);
  my @data = (
        LOCATE_X => 529788,
        LOCATE_Y => 181557,
        LOCATE_RANGE => 20,
  );
  my $req = RPC::XML::request->new('server.method' => @data);
  #print $req->as_string, "\n";
  my $resp = $client->send_request($req);
  my ($code, $result) = @{$resp->value};
  if ($code == 0) {
    print "success: ", Dumper($result), "\n";
  } else {
    print "failed: $code\n";
  }

One of the gotchas was the server I was contacting wanted everything as
a string rather than say integer which RPC::XML would otherwise deduce.
This meant using writing wrappers that used stuff like,
   sub str { RPC::XML::string->new(shift) }

Happy to help out if this isn't enough to get going -
