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

I have just written a package that call's SOAP::Lite and allows the user to override the uri & proxy values if required... otherwise it uses the defaults ('xxxx') 

SOAP::Lite->new(
  uri => ($uri || 'xxxx'),
  proxy => ($proxy || 'xxxx'));

Re: SOAP::Lite OO style with passed variables

    Can you please describe in more detail what kind of error you are getting. I have tried the following code, which gave exactly the behaviour you wanted. So I suspect the problem could be with the values of your $uri and $proxy. Perhaps they are empty. You could insert a print statement before your object creation and check the value of $uri and $proxy. The following code is what I used to test your object creation, which worked perfectly.

    use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;

my $uri = "Optional URI";
my $proxy = "HTTPS:";

# <== insert print statement here to inspect $uri and $proxy
print "URI = [$uri], PROXY = [$proxy]\n";

my $soap = SOAP::Lite->new(
  uri => ($uri || 'Some URI'),
  proxy => ($proxy || 'HTTP:')
  );

print Dumper($soap);

      Thanks heaps... Yeah I printed them out and the data in them is correct... I found what the problem was... I was trying to "bless" the SOAP::Lite Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
