SOAP::Lite - how to remove namespaces

ffrost has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have code where I've supplied a snippet of the relevant parts below:

$soap = SOAP::Lite
->proxy($proxy)
->uri($uri)
->autotype(0)
->ns('http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope','soap')
->ns('http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.filter','mil')
->ns('http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.training/v2.4','v2')
->readable(1);
[download]

This creates the following output:

<soap:Envelope
    soap:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
    xmlns:mil=http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.filter
    xmlns:soap=http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope
    xmlns:soapenc=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
    xmlns:v2=http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.training/v2.4
    xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
    xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>

But I need it to look like this, without the magically included namespaces:

<soap:Envelope
    xmlns:mil=http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.filter
    xmlns:v2=http://mil.dod.af.A1.personnel.dataservices.training/v2.4
    xmlns:soap=http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope>
[download]

How do I get rid of the soap:encodingStyle, xmlns:soapenc, xmlns:xsd and xmlns:xsi namespaces? If I use these extra namespaces in the web service call then it fails their validation check.

(I haven't used SOAP::Lite for a long time, so just guessing.) Looking at lib/SOAP/Lite.pm, it seems that stuff is probably done by `new` using `register_ns`. Offhand I don't see a clean way to "unregister" a namespace, but the way register_ns is implemented -- if you just want to get on with life and don't mind dirty hacks -- it looks like you could do something like (untested) `delete $soap->{_namespaces}{soapenc}` for example to remove soapenc.
