I'm trying to do a SOAP call to http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertSpeed.asmx

My code as follows : 

use SOAP::Lite;

my $client = SOAP::Lite->new;
$client    = $client->service( "http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertSpee
+d.asmx?wsdl" );

my $soapResp = $client->call( "ConvertSpeed", 100, "kilometersPerhour"
+, "milesPerhour" );

if ( $soapResp->fault ) {
    print $soapResp->faultstring;
}
else {
    print $soapResp->result;
}

This gives me the following error :

A service address has not been specified either by using SOAP::Lite->proxy() or a service description)

As far as I understand it the service address is obtained from the WSDL. I did however try using
$client->proxy("http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertSpeed.asmx"), but then I got the following error :

Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: #ConvertSpeed

Since the WSDL is supposed to handle the service address I removed the $client->proxy() bit and tried
other stuff. I have been struggling with this for 2 days now so I can't recall everything I tried, but
I did reduce method chaining a lot from my initial code to what I posted above. I also tried using
$client->ConvertSpeed(100, "kilometersPerhour", "milesPerhour") directly as I have seen it done this way
elsewhere, but it seems to not return anything.

This is running on Perl 5.10 and version 0.714 of SOAP::Lite.
I have also tested on Perl 5.22.1 and version 1.19.

I have also confirmed that this SOAP call works in other languages.
