Hello Monks,

I have written Perl scripts and modules for several years professionally to interact with the OS and the filesystem.

What I 'have been asked to' implement now is a SOAP Web Service written in Perl that will do the following:
1. It will listen on (let's say) Port 2001 on a server.
2. It will accept a file upload from a remote server, and
3. It will save that file locally on the disk.

Now I have no experience in writing web services or web-oriented Perl. I would highly appreciate if anyone could guide me to links that I could read, and how I could get started. Of course, if the above - which I have simply been asked to implement - is not possible, I would appreciate if you could tell me an overall design (e.g. APACHE/Perl-script) that I could use to implement this.

If you need me to clarify anything, let me know.
