Hi monks.
I have recently started using the SOAP::Lite module, and am now trying to figure out the SOAP::WSDL module, to check it's advantages over SOAP::Lite. To get started, I tried converting the age old "hello world" program from SOAP::Lite to SOAP::WSDL. The code for SOAP::Lite is: (taken from here) with a slight rewrite 
#!/exlibris/metalib/m4_b/product/bin/perl
use SOAP::Lite;
{
    my $soap_request = SOAP::Lite->new();
    $soap_request->uri('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo');
    $soap_request->proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi');
    my $soap_response = $soap_request->hi();
    my $result = $soap_response->result;
    print "$result\n";
}

I have tried to write it according to the SOAP::WSDL module, as so:
#!/exlibris/metalib/m4_b/product/bin/perl
use SOAP::WSDL;
{
    my $soap_request=SOAP::WSDL->new();
    $soap_request->wsdl('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo');
    $soap_request->proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi');
    $soap_request->wsdlinit;
    my $soap_response = $soap_request->call('hi');
    my $result = $soap_response->result;
    print "the result is: $result\n";
}

However, I get this error message: 
Service description 'http://www.soaplite.com/Demo' can't be loaded: 40
+4 Not Found

According to the module documentation, SOAP::WSDL basically expands on SOAP::Lite, so what worked in SOAP::Lite should also work in SOAP::WSDL. Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem? Also, any info or examples about SOAP::WSDL will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
