Good day Bros. I am trying to write a CGI app to receive blog pings. The blog pings come in an XMLRPC request that looks like: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
  <methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>YOUR WEBLOG NAME HERE</value>
    </param>
    <param>
      <value>http://www.YOURWEBLOGURL.com/</value>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodCall>

[download]
Basically, all I want to do for now is get the params from the ping and store them somewhere.

I have been looking at the docs for XMLRPC::Lite and they're not too helpful because they have the server dispatch_to('methodName') without showing how you set up methodName to handle the dispatch. Does anyone know where I can find some simple example code for making this work?

TIA...Steve
