Okay, the following is the SOAP client which I mocked up to test this WSDL - Note that I have deliberately obscured your customer ID number in the example below.

#!/opt/bin/perl

use SOAP::Lite +trace;

my $result = SOAP::Lite
        ->service('http://www.thedialogcenter.com/EncryptionService.ws
+dl')
        ->Encrypt('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'Testing');

print $result, "\n";

Including the SOAP::Lite trace showed me that the following request was sent to the location https://secure.arkansasbluecross.com/WebServices/EncryptionService.asmx.

It would appear that SOAP::Lite is failing to encode the customer ID parameter correctly. Whilst this doesn't answer your question as to how to solve this problem, it may provide you with some additional information in your search for an answer. Note that there are still some gaps in the WSDL implementation in SOAP::Lite and as such, you may be better off to specify the service details manually or build the body using SOAP::Data::Builder.

perl -le "print unpack'N', pack'B32', '00000000000000000000001011001110'"

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
