Monks,

I'm currently using SOAP::Lite as a part of a larger application to tie together a set of modules that are distributed over a number of remote machines.

As a part of this, I'd like to be able to have a configuration file somewhere with 

$SOAP_SERVER = "http://my.server.com/";
$SOAP_PROXY  = $SOAP_SERVER . "soap/soap_server.cgi";

[download]
in it to allow all of the "likey-to-change" configuration data to be centralised.

When I attempt to access a SOAP object using these configuration variables, however, I get an error simply saying proxy: transport protocol not specified, using the code below: 

    $db = SOAP::Lite
        -> uri  ( $SOAP_SERVER . "dbAccessor" )
        -> proxy( $SOAP_PROXY );

[download]

If I replace the $SOAP_* variables with their contents, the code executes perfectly.

Does anyone know of a way around this? Is it simply impossible to dynamically assign a SOAP server and proxy?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
