I have a CGI file that dispatches requests to a PERL module using SOAP::Lite. I read (http://cookbook.soaplite.com/#soap%20faults) that if I use "die" from the PERL module, SOAP::Lite will package the string given to "die" as the SOAP faultstring and return it to the client. I know that my PERL module is returning the string because I have tested the module on the server side. However, something goes wrong after the module returns its output such that my client gets the following error message (if I add print "Content-type..." in the CGI file) minus the delimiting "**********":

You can clearly see the "Failed to prepare SQL statement" faultstring embedded in the SOAP response, but all my client usually returns is "500 Internal Server Error at dbq_client_fields line 51. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks!
