Please don't construct complexType's by hand. Let the WSDL do it for you. I repeat: Never, ever use SOAP::Data manually; it's not worth it.

SOAP::WSDL (which is a sub-class of the client portion of SOAP::Lite) does what you want.

It constructs the classes based on complexType definitions in the WSDL. It can be told to cache the created classes to the filesystem, so you can extract them and add meta-functionality yourself. If properly named classes are found in your @INC they can be used to instantiate complex return values from a service call.

Version 2 of SOAP::WSDL is shaping up to be very flexible.
