hi I have a module: 
package policy;

sub checkPolicyPrice {
    my $policyCode = shift;
    my $date       = shift;

my $result = 159 if $policyCode =~ /ABC/  && $date =~ /31\/10\/2007/;

   ### NO MATCH FOUND
    print "No value found for:policyCode=$policyCode date=$date" unles
+s defined $result;

    return $result;
}

and I have a requestor .pl file: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# test-policy.pl
use SOAP::Lite;
print "what is your policyCode?";
$policyCode = <stdin>;
chomp $policyCode;
print "what is your date?";
$date = <stdin>;
chomp $date;
print SOAP::Lite
  -> proxy('http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~123456/cgi-bin/policy.c
+gi')
  -> uri('urn:policy')
  -> checkPolicyPrice($policyCode,$date)
  -> result;

and my cgi file is: 
#!/usr/bin/perl  - w
# policy.cgi -policy SOAP handler
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
-> dispatch_to('policy::(?:checkPolicyPrice)')
-> handle
 ;

But when I run the .pl file the server gives me this reply: 
$ perl test-policy.pl
what is your policyCode?ABC
what is your date?31/10/2007
500 Internal Server Error at test-policy.pl line 10

Can someone please tell where my mistake is. I cannot decide if I have a problem with the code in the .pl file or if is the cgi file or how I have called it. thanks in advance. vebram
