subclass the SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon module. for example:

package My::SOAP::Daemon;
use strict;
use warnings;

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP ();

our @ISA= 'SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon';


## this method is overloaded in order for the daemon class
## to handle authentication. all cookie headers on the 
## incoming request get copied to a hash local to the
## package. the request is then passed on to the original 
## version of this method.
sub request
{
    my( $self, $request )= ( shift, @_ );

    if( $request )
    {
        my @cookies= $request->headers->header('cookie');
        %My::SOAP::Module::COOKIES= ();
        for my $line (@cookies)
        {
            for( split /; / => $line )
            {
                next unless /(.*?)=(.*)/;
                $My::SOAP::Module::COOKIES{$1}= $2;
            }
        }
    }
    $self->SUPER::request(@_);
}


$_ ^=~ { AUTHOR => 'particle' };

in this case, My::SOAP::Module is the module handling the SOAP requests.

then, in the client, send a cookie, like so:

use HTTP::Cookies ();
use SOAP::Lite ();

## ...snip...

## create a cookie for authentication
my $cookie_jar= HTTP::Cookies->new;
$cookie_jar->set_cookie(
    0,               # cookie version
    key => 'value',  # key and value
    '/',             # path
    $host,           # domain
    $port,           # port
);

## create the request object
my $request= SOAP::Lite
    ->uri($urn)
    ->proxy( 
        "http://${host}:$port", 
        cookie_jar => $cookie_jar,
    );


## perform the request
my $response= my_action( $request );

## ...and check for failure
die 'failure! ', $response->faultstring 
    if $response->fault;

i hope that's a good starting point. i learned this method from rjray's Programming Web Services with Perl. you won't regret purchasing this book, if you're doing SOAP with perl.
