at the start of the program (rather than the plain 'use' ). For your code you will get gobs of information including the whole request: 
POST http://thor.velocigen.com:80/vx_engine/soap-trigger.pperl
Accept: text/xml
Accept: multipart/*
Content-Length: 534
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "urn:vgx-horoscope#getHoroscope"
