Hi Monks,

I am trying to understand (and perhaps fix somes issues in) the implementation of SOAP::WSDL while trying to set attributes for an element inside a request and I am struggling with the notations like 

my %xmlns_of            :ATTR(:name<xmlns> :default<{}>);
that are used a lot i.e in SOAP::WSDL::BASE.pm and in the Elements and Types generated by the script wsdl2perl.pl in order to build SOAP request by filling a simple hashtable (all the types resolving and corresponding xml generation is done at run time thanks to the generated packages).

I have made some research to understand the attributes with Attribute::Handlers but it seems to be a variation as the documentation does not show the attributes in the arguments like for :name, and the code is not even using this package. Or is it something different?

If you can provide some help...

The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else. - Melinda Varian
