I am attempting to setup the new Google Adwords API v2009 for Perl and I am running into a compilation error.

The latest version of the Google Code Perl libraries for interfacing with the API are not released to CPAN, nor is there any traction to get them there.

I followed the directions in the Google read me file: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-perl/source/browse/trunk/README

Bellow is an overview of the hoops I had jumped through so far:

I have downloaded and installed the latest library package:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-perl/downloads/detail?name=awapi_perl_lib_1.3.2.tar.gz

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the SOAP WSDL module (now on version 861 the last time I checked BTW - the Google READ me was looking for an older version of the code - 846):
http://soap-wsdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/soap-wsdl/SOAP-WSDL/branches/Typemap.tar.gz?view=tar&pathrev=861

Ran the WSDL patch as decribed in the README.

Did the build and install.

Made the Google Accounts - got the tokens.

I created an adwords.properties file in my home directory and edited it with my account data (I did not turn on the Sandbox setting).

Made a local copy of http://google-api-adwords-perl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/example/display_stats.pl

When I tried to run the above test script I got the following error:

SOAP/Deserializer.pm did not return a true value at (eval 93) line 3.
        ...propagated at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/base.pm line 85.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
