Hi, I'm new to Perl and I'm having difficulty accessing a SOAP webservice using SOAP::Lite because one of the parameters has to be a 64 bit integer (it gives error if I provide a 32 bit integer). The integer that I'm trying to use can be sufficiently represented as 32 bit and I just can't get Perl to assign those extra 32 bits of zeros to make it 64 bits! My line of code for setting up the SOAP call parameters is as follows: @params = SOAP::Data -> name(identifier => $identifier); where $identifier is the integer. I would later use: $return = $service -> call($method => @params); to make the call, where $method is the name of the webservice method. Is there any way I can make this work? Thanks in advance! Hans
