Can anyone suggest a way to either make the server less strict, or else to improve the WSDL-reading capability of the Perl SOAP client in SOAP::Lite?

To make the server 'less strict', the only way that I know of is to change it to use document/literal encoding, which doesn't require the clients to send a type for each element, and so it's 'less strict' in that there's no type to match against. However, I have no idea what it would require to change your server to do this.

For better WSDL support, I know there exists SOAP::WSDL, but I've never used it. My problem is the opposite -- supporting strict clients w/ a SOAP::Lite server. For that, I use a replacement serializer, which doesn't examine the value of the element to determine the type, but looks at the element's name (I either pull the name from the hash key, or bless items into a class).
