I have a feeling that grabbing the Apache request before it hits the SOAP stuff through a PerlHandler) would be the easiest way of doing that. Although that's not how I'm currently approaching it :)

I was going to add a 'LocalAuth' module (or similar) that would be run at the beginning of a method call, something along the lines of: 

if ($auth->can('set credit card')) {
    proceed();
}

as the final lock down at the application level, where individual methods are listed in a DB along with identifying group(s) of hosts allowed to run them (then do a group look up to see which group the particular host belongs to.

I'm still in flux over all this, but having great fun experimenting :) Perhaps you'd care to expand on your ideas...
