I have a Perl SOAP::Lite client and server. I specify keep_alive in the client, but the client closes the connection after the server responds with Keep-Alive. Here's the client code: 
use warnings;
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;

my $som = SOAP::Lite->uri('http://my_namespace/SOAP_ImageMgr')
                    ->proxy('http://wshost/cgi-bin/imagemgr/imagemgr',
                            timeout    => 30,
                            keep_alive => 1);

my $url = 'http://image-url/';
for (1 .. 100) {
    my $resp = $som->get_image_token($url, 260, 260);
    if ($resp->fault()) {
        die("$0: can't get image handle for $url(260): ",
            $resp->faultstring(), "\n");
    }

    print $resp->result(), "\n";
}

I have a tcpdump that shows a close from the client after each response from the server; then a brand new connection is opened for the next request. My server is a simple dispatch to an in-line package. How do I get the client to use the open connection instead of closing and re-opening?
