my $soap = SOAP::Lite
    -> ns( 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance', 'xsi' )
    -> ns( 'urn::sdp:profilemanager:requestmanager', 'a' )
    -> ns( 'urn::sdp:profilemanager:contract:110308', 'b'  )
    -> uri($uri)
    -> on_action( sub { join '.ProcessMessage', 'urn::sdp:profilemanag
+er:requestmanager:100818.ProfileScopeServiceContract', $_[1] } )
    -> proxy($url);


And here I assume I'm specifying the name of the first element with th
+e Soap Body - Request. 

<code>
my $method = SOAP::Data->name('Request')
    ->attr({xmlns => 'urn::sdp:profilemanager:profilemanagerrequestman
+ager:100818'});

How? Here I specify the SOAP Action name ProcessMessage - no mention of 'Request' here.

So what, you're using two variables  $_[0] and $_[1] , maybe one of them has "Request"

If you don't know whats going on, Basic debugging checklist says Dumper() Dumper() Dumper()

But this seems to also append the word 'Request' to my soap action?

What happens when you comment that line out?

I've been using Perl for all of 2 days. Maybe you could explain the function and what its doing as its not very intuitive?

-> on_action( sub { join '.ProcessMessage', 'urn::sdp:profilemanag
+er:requestmanager:100818.ProfileScopeServiceContract', $_[1] } )

Where am using the variable $_[0] you mention?

    -> on_action( \&return_action_header )
   ....
   ;;;;
sub return_action_header {
   my( $action, $method_uri, $method_name ) = @_;
   return ...
}
