Distributed::Process::Worker - a base class for a worker

The tasks that one wishes to run distributedly must be implemented in the run()
method of a class derived from Distributed::Process::Worker. By default,
this in turn derives from Distributed::Process::LocalWorker, so the custom
class also derives from it, and can run "as is" on the client side.
On the server side, the Distributed::Process::Master object changes the
inheritance of Distributed::Process::Worker to make it a subclass of
Distributed::Process::RemoteWorker. The custom worker class thus also
becomes a subclass of it, and is ready to run on the server.
This is called by the D::P::Master object to change the inheritance and
redefind the run() method. run() on the server does not actually run the tasks
defined in the custom worker class, but sends a /run command on the netork
to the connected client.
