Wow, thanks. I got past the validation portion and now in authentication hell {checked Dante -- no help!}. I am getting

I checked user's privileges to delete email-- ok. Here is what I modified. {lifted some from EWS - I'm clearly an amature } 

my $soap = $folder->soap;

$soap->on_action( sub { MESSAGES_NS . "/$_[1]" });
# setup the schemas
$soap->ns(TYPES_NS, 't');
$soap->default_ns(MESSAGES_NS);
$soap->uri(MESSAGES_NS);
# EWS does not like the encodingStyle attribute
$soap->encodingStyle("");   
my $method = SOAP::Data->name('DeleteItems')
  ->attr({xmlns => 'https://webmailNY.xxxx.com/ews'});
my @params = ( SOAP::Data->name('Message-ID' => $message_id));
$soap = SOAP::Lite->proxy('https://webmailNY.XXXX.com/ews/exchange.asm
+x');
sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials { return ('XX
+XX\gsa_spectrum_mb_read' => 'XXXX') }; 
print $soap-> SOAP::Lite::call($method => @params)->result;   
print 'end';
