Hi monks...

From the SOAP::Lite docs: 
Although support for WSDL 1.1 is limited in SOAP::Lite for now (servic
+e description may work in some cases, but hasn't been extensively tes
+ted), you can access services that don't have complex types in their 
+description...

and from the SOAP::Lite CPAN reviews: 

Whatever you do, *DON'T* look at the code if you can help it! This is 
+the hardest to read CPAN module I've ever seen. It borders on Perl Go
+lf complexity in places.

and it gets worse.

I personally have tried to use SOAP::Lite and SOAP::WSDL simultaneously, and not even come close to making it work.

Java and C# and even Ruby have very nice SOAP modules (I'm doing all my SOAP API testing in Ruby, using soapui(Java) for exploring).

Is there any interest in building a Perl SOAP library that functions well? I have some customers that would appreciate it.
