I have a bunch of data that is being stored in a variable $writer (large amount of XML data) This doesn't work correctly, but is SOAP::Lite what I want if I want to do an http POST to jboss(8180) of all this XML data? If not, how would I post the hash'd data stored in $writer to that specific URL address? 
my $soap = SOAP::Lite->proxy('http://localhost:8180');
my $excel  = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse($file);
my $writer =
  XML::Writer->new( OUTPUT => $soap, NEWLINES => 0, DATA_MODE => 1, DA
+TA_INDENT => 2, );

Separate question also. You'll notice that I am using Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. It works fine in linux, but I am developing the code on my laptop before I push it to the box, but I can't run it on windows. I get this error. 
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at C:/Perl/
