I'm trying to get aquainted with web services via SOAP::Lite, but I'm running into some problems.

Here is my SOAP server:

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
 
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
  -> dispatch_to( '/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/soap_modules' )
  -> handle;

My SOAP client:

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

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
  -> proxy( 'http://dg.example.org/cgi-bin/soapserver.cgi' )
  -> uri( 'http://dg.example.org/Greeter' )
  -> on_fault( sub { my($soap, $res) = @_; 
         die ref $res ? $res->faultstring : $soap->transport->status, 
+"\n";
     });

my $greeter = $soap->call( new => 'Doug' )->result;
print $soap->formal( $greeter )->result;

__END__

And my Greeter class:

package Greeter;
use strict;
use warnings;

sub new {
    my $self = shift;
    bless { name => shift }, 'Greeter';
}    

sub formal {
    my $self = shift;
    return "Welcome, $self->{name}.";
}

sub casual {
    my $self = shift;
    return "Howdy, $self->{name}!";
}

1;

When I run the client, I get the following:

Denied access to method (formal) in class (Greeter) at /usr/lib/perl5/
+site_perl/5.8.2/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2267.

Can anyone give me any pointers on why this is?
