I will try not to make this a stupid question but I am on a project where just about everything is done in Java and there are no Perl people around to ask...

I have been asked to consume a SOAP web service that the java people are publishing (it's data from SAP for what it's worth). I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get started as there is no documentation. Here's what I know:

- I have a URL to a WSDL - There are some .xsd files

That's it! Can you help me to get started?

What I have tried so far is: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use SOAP::Lite;
$s = new SOAP::Lite -> service('https://myurl/services/BWReport');

[download]
which produces the crytic message: 
junk after document element at line 2, column 0, byte 19 at /usr/local
+/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris/XML/Parser.pm line 187

[download]
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
