Thanks for the hint for logging on the server, but no go. The logging works, however the log gives no information until the client actually connects, a minute and a half later.

I'm using Tk in my client; I wonder if that might be a problem? I threw together some sample code that breaks just as much as my full code, and it's pretty darn simple:

The sever: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon->new(LocalPort => 3004) 
  ->dispatch_to('My::Soapy')->handle;   

package My::Soapy;
sub testy { return "happy!"; }

And the client: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use Tk;

my $main = MainWindow->new;
my $button = $main->Button(-text => 'go!', -command => \&get);
$button->pack;
MainLoop;

sub get { print "got: " . SOAP::Lite->uri('http://tako:3004/My/Soapy')
    ->proxy('http://tako:3004')->testy()->result . $/; }

My only reply on the SOAP::Lite mailing list (thus far) suggests that maybe Windows isn't closing the socket, but I'm not sure how to check on that, or force it to close.
