Thanks!

Looks like I'm getting closer :) A 500 error from apache. hmmm. This should be reported in the /var/log/httpd/error_log but isn't.

Figured it out! The URI was wrong! :)

Working:

print SOAP::Lite
    ->uri('http://localhost/Demo')
    ->proxy('http://localhost/cgi-bin/soap/hibye.cgi')
    ->hi()
    ->result;
[download]

Doesn't work:

print SOAP::Lite
    ->uri('http://localhost/cgi-bin/soap/Demo')
    ->proxy('http://localhost/cgi-bin/soap/hibye.cgi')
    ->hi()
    ->result;
[download]

No one has seen what you have seen, and until that happens, we're all going to think that you're nuts. - Jack O'Neil, Stargate SG-1

Yeah the uri actually becomes the namespace for the content of the SOAP Body element. SOAP::Lite uses this to determine the module to use for an rpc/encoded request. So with your original attempt would try to load a module like cgi-bin::soap::Demo. The namespace URI doesn't have to be a URI of an actual resource and shouldn't be confused with one. This is one reason why I tend to use a URI of the form urn:Demo (which should work in your case, avoiding using the http scheme reduces the potential for confusion IMO,
