Greetings,

I'm fairly new to the world of writing perl based web services. I've built myself both a SOAP::Lite client and server and they're working together fine. Eventually though, other folks are going to need to be able to talk to the server. No way to tell what they will be using to write their clients, so I'll need to provide a WSDL.

Is there any automated way of creating a WSDL file from a SOAP::Lite server? So far, my web searches seem to say no. Has this problem truly remained unsolved for so long? I really don't like the idea of having to create the thing by hand.

Here's one of the more relevant older threads - http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=391566.
