Hi,

I am using SOAP::Lite (latest version) to make call to a webservice with large file (about 50MB). I am using following code. I see that when making soap call the memory usage is very high (approx 1.5GB). And if I go above 60MB, I am running out of memory and perl scripting is exiting with out making the SOAP call. Is this the error in the SOAP::Lite module or I am using it the wrong way. Also, what is a better way to make a SOAP call with large data. Please see below for the code I am currently using: 

#Read the file
my $value = read_file( $attachmentFilename , binmode => ':raw', scalar
+_ref => 1 );
    
my @params = ( $header,
               SOAP::Data->name(fileName => $attachFilename),
               SOAP::Data->name(taskDataContent => encode_base64($$val
+ue)), #base64 encode the file contents
               SOAP::Data->name(results => $results));

#Call the webservice with SOAP::Lite
$returnResult = $soap->call($ptrMethod => @params);

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ana
