I was tired of writing a large complex data with plain SOAP::Data and was so glad to have found SOAP::Data::ComplexType, but I couldn't make a soap array with it. I tried to do exactly as the sample code does but the sample didn't even compile and I had to modify it a bit. 
#!C:/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use SOAP::Data::ComplexType;
package My::Complex;
use base qw(SOAP::Data::ComplexType);
use constant OBJ_TYPE    => 'myns:complex';
use constant OBJ_URI    => 'http://my.uri.com';
use constant OBJ_FIELDS    => {
        string_array => [
            'SOAP-ENC:Array', undef, { 'SOAP-ENC:arrayType' => 'string
+' }
        ]
    };
sub new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my $data = shift;
    my $obj_fields = $_[1]; #second param from untouched @_
    $obj_fields = defined $obj_fields && ref($obj_fields) eq 'HASH' ? 
+{%{+OBJ_FIELDS}, %{$obj_fields}} : OBJ_FIELDS;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new($data, $obj_fields);
    return bless($self, $class);
}

my $complex = My::Complex->new({string_array => [ 'text1', 'text2', 't
+ext3' ]});
print $complex->as_xml_data;

I was expecting output like 
<string_array type="xsi:SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string
+[3]">
    <item xsi:type="xsd:string">text1</item>
    <item xsi:type="xsd:string">text2</item>
    <item xsi:type="xsd:string">text3</item>
</string_array>

but all I got was three <string_array>s. I'm using SOAP::Data::ComplexType 0.044 running on ActivePerl. Please tell me what kind of mistake I've made...
