I really dislike the SOAP::Lite style of chained methods constructors

my $soap_client = SOAP::Lite->proxy($proxy)
  ->uri($uri)
  ->on_fault(sub {...});
....
my $soap_value = SOAP::Data
   ->name($name)
   ->value($value)
   ->type($type);

and don't understand why is it pursued overall in the documentation at the expense of ordinary new: 

my $soap_value = SOAP::Data->new(
   'name' =>  $name,
   'value' => $value,
   'type'  => $type);

But I think the SOAP::Lite style is different from the one discussed here.

AFAIK SOAP::Lite methods are overloaded as being:

but only the setter variant can be chained as it modifies the current object and returns it. So there are no new objects created by chained methods.
