Hello Monks,

I'm new to SOAP::Lite.

I have to write SOAP client for third party software. It seems pretty straightforward, but there's one obstacle. There is a hyphen in method name I want to invoke.

I've copied wsdl to local filesystem and modified method name there - of course it returns an error - but the syntax is ok. Output works when sending it through SoapUI when I change the method name back.

Method name: bpi-request

When trying to run my script I got an error: 
Bad stub: Bareword "bpi" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (ev
+al 92) line 6.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2921.

It seems that SOAP:Lite have problem with hyphens in wsdl files. Is there a way to modify xml before sending? Then I could change 'bpi-request' in wsdl to 'bpirequest' and then before sending change all 'bpirequest' to 'bpi-request'.

Regards,

TheNode
