I'm trying to put together a SOAP server in which Perl takes a cookie, uses pack on it to retrieve a name and then pass that name to a Java client using Axis2 having created a WSDL file (for Axis2 to read) but I'm finding that I'm turning myself around in circles about creating the WSDL file.
The documentation on SOAP::Schema appears to more based around consuming wsdl than creating it and SOAP::WSDL looks too heavyweight for what I need (one name going to one service). The soaplite site appears to be mainly concerned with consuming the file as well. What might be the best way of creating the file (ie http://localhost/email.wsdl)? 
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use strict;
use warnings;
 
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
use HTTP::Cookies;
    
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
    ->dispatch_to('emailfind')
    ->handle;
    
package emailfind;
    
    
sub findingit {
    warn "****** findingit(".join(',',map{"'$_'"}@_).")\n";
    my $function   = shift;
    my $cookiejar  = shift;
    die "No cookies" unless $cookiejar;
    my $cookie = $cookiejar->as_string();
    die "no cookie" if (!$cookie || $cookie =~ /WALOGIN="RESET"/);  #e
+xit function if cookie empty or is RESET
            
    my ($e) = $cookie =~ /WALOGIN=\"([^\"]+)\"/;
    my ($e) = split(/-/, $cookie);
    $e = pack ("H*", $e);
}

What I need to do is to get the name in the cookie over to Java so that it can authorise any resource uses, not to set a cookie in Java. I did think about inline Java but got put off by potential language bloat. I'd be grateful for any help or advice on creating this file.
