The most pressing problem I have with SOAP::Lite right now is that it doesn't support complexTypes

It also doesn't seem to evaluate input in boolean context appropriately, but that could be related to the lack of complexType support: all of my boolean values are used in complexType functions.

I have also seen what seems to be a pretty evil bug when sending non-ascii characters like è or à, where the entire message gets encoded in what seems to be base64.

And even a cursory look at the SOAP::Lite mail list is a source of myriad other bugs and problems.

For myself, I had enough some time ago, I'm using Ruby. But I'm trying to make some great customers happy by getting to the bottom of the problems we're having with SOAP::Lite. It's hard enough just defining the problem. But there are some fairly serious Perl programmers at my company, and none of them are willing or able to tackle the problems with SOAP::Lite.
