Re^2: Force integer to occupy 64 bits (bytes)

I was mistakenly blaming Perl for my problem. It seems that the real cause lies within the XML generated by the SOAP call:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" x
+mlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="h
+ttp://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.x
+mlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soa
+p/envelope/"><soap:Body><loadPathwayForId><identifier xsi:type="xsd:i
+nt">68886</identifier></loadPathwayForId></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I just have to somehow get xsi:type to say "xsd:long" instead of "xsd:int".

Thanks for the thorough reply! I used SOAP::Data -> name(identifier => $identifier ) -> type('xsd:long'); and obliterated the type error. Unfortunately, now it seems I'm getting another error from SOAP::Lite when the returned XML is too long... I am stuck with SOAP since that is the only way for me to retrieve the data I want. I'll check out the other SOAP modules that you proposed, maybe they will better handle large amount of data!	[reply]
