So, having taken the suggestions of both tye and derby, I found the following:

First, I stepped through the server using the Perl debugger. To my bemusement, the code worked flawlessly, and I got the results I expected.

Following that, I ran the code again without the debugger, and got the results reported previously.

Then I added the use SOAP::Lite +trace => qw( all ); lines to the code above, and received the following complaint from the server:

SOAP::Serializer::envelope: Client Application failed during request deserialization:
no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 185

Out of curiousity, I ran it through the debugger again with the new changes, and it works without err. At this point, I'm inclined to abandon my cause in favor of using SOAP::Transport::HTTP instead of pursuing this problem further.

Thanks, all
