Afternoon, I'm trying to write a SOAP service to decode a cookie and pass the details in SOAP to a Java client (Perl being better at data munging in this instance). Whilst testing this, I have not been able to print out the results (I've written the client in Perl to test) so that I know this part is working. 
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use strict;
use warnings;
 
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
use CGI;
use Carp;
    
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
    ->dispatch_to('emailfind')
    ->handle;

my $cgi = new CGI;  

package emailfind;

sub findingit {
    my $cgi = shift;
    #croak "Error: cgi object not passed" if(!$cgi);  
    my $cookie = $cgi->cookie('WALOGIN');
    return if (!$cookie || $cookie eq 'RESET');   #exit function if co
+okie empty or is RESET


    my ($e) = split(/-/, $cookie);
    my $email= pack("H*",$e);            # decode email address
    return $email;
    }

I am not quite sure where I've gone wrong on this and would be grateful for some help before moving on any further. Ultimately I'm trying to pass on a username 
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use warnings;

use SOAP::Lite;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
    ->uri('http://localhost/emailfind')
    ->proxy('http://localhost/cgi-bin/soapdish.pl');
    

unless ($soap->fault) {
    print $soap->findingit();
  } else {
    print join ', ', 
      $soap->faultcode, 
      $soap->faultstring, 
      $soap->faultdetail;
  }

Many thanks for any pointers.
