( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

A few months ago I dabbled with SOAP and was ok calling a service and getting data from it. Trouble is not touched Perl since but I'd like to write a prototype to further my knowledge though am not entirely clear where to start.

I'd like to write a service that listens on a port with no need for a separate web server (ie. Apache). It would receive XML in a specific format and then act upon that data. I also need a client to test it.

Reading up it seems like I need:

  • SOAP::Lite for the server and client
  • WSDL service on the server
  • XML::LibXML to parse the XML
  • But I'm not entirely sure how this all hangs together and the more I google the more confused I become. This would seem a very straight forward a task but every example I've seen seems more complex and/or relies on Apache and inserting the Perl as CGI.

    Does anyone have a sample bit of code that view? ie. Basic server to receive two tags in an XML file over a port? Tend to find I need examples to get me that initial leg up!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
