The mysterious element you're seeing is because you're returning an anonymous element of some sort. You can get around this by either writing a custom serializer or returning SOAP::Data objects. There was an article on Majordojo about this. (I highly suggest reading all of the SOAP::Lite articles on there, if you're going to be spending much time with the module. (note -- SOAP::Serializer as distributed in CPAN is different from the SOAP::Serializer package within in SOAP::Lite; look at SOAP::Lite for SOAP::Data, as well)

Also, based on the format you described, you're looking more for wrapped document/literal as opposed to SOAP::Lite's default, which is RPC/encoded. (here's an article that explains the differences). There's going to be options in SOAP::Lite to supress the automatic namespaces, but I don't know if there's a way to supress the type attribute built in yet. (I haven't been keeping up with the latest betas, I just went to look at the new site design that was mentioned today on the mailing list) You can always override the serializer to do it, though.
