Any SOAP or SOAP::Lite users out there? I'm very new to SOAP and I was working on the exercises at http://guide.soaplite.com/ to set up something simple to bang on before I start working on my production code. I tried to set up the author's demo server:
#!perl -w use SOAP::Transport::HTTP; SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI -> dispatch_to('Demo') -> handle; package Demo; sub hi { return "hello, world"; } sub bye { return "goodbye, cruel world"; }
But when I try to run the script, I keep getting the error: Status: 411 Length Required. ...and the script terminates. I have an idea what the error itself means in a client-server context, but it appears that the server is coming up with this own its own. Any help would be much appriciated.
