We are trying to build an async interface with a middleware which sends a SOAP formatted string via an HTTP post. This request is acknowledged with HTTP 200 and the connection is closed.

To receive the response we will be exposing another perl page, the URL of which will be provided to middleware team. This URL will be altered to have the response xml. So effectively we are using the URL query string to send and receive response.

I am absolutely new to perl and hence was hoping to get some help on how to go about implementing this and how to expose the perl based page so that it can be called anytime.

1) getListPrice.pl will prepare a SOAP formatted string and send this across to the middleware web service using the LWP::userAgent and post. 2)setListPrice.pl is the page we are hoping to build which middleware will call and supply the response in the URL query string. http://example.com:62040/SetListPrice.asp/?RequestXML=<...SOAP XML...>

EDIT 1 :- Perl version which I have to work with v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int.
