As is my tradition in these parts, I recommend SOAP::WSDL because it solves the following problems:

• WSDL-based auto-generation of proxy code
• very flexible document encoding detection (talks to .NET out of the box)
• automatic marshalling between perl data-structures and SOAP complex types (those described in the WSDL in any case)... manual use of SOAP::Data is tiresome
• data-validation comes for free
• it's a subclass of SOAP::Lite's client, so the normal APIs are also available

At most, you'll have to change the contents of the default on_action handler to reflect your server's SOAPAction expectations (it works straight away for .NET based services).
