Greetings,

I currently have a SOAP::Lite web service and client that are working fine together. We now want to add a .net client. I used Pod::WSDL to create a WSDL file, but it doesn't seem to be pointing to the correct things. The web service lives at http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/web_svc.pl. It contains one package (foo) and several functions, only one of which (bar) I want available to the .net client. The web service looks like this: 

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
   -> dispatch_to('foo')
   -> handle;

package foo;
.
.
.
=begin WSDL
_IN usr_nm $string User Name
_IN pwd    $string Password
_IN ext_id $string External  ID
_IN bar_cd $string  Bar Code
_RETURN $int Number of passes inserted (should be one)
=end WSDL

sub bar
{
   my (undef, $usr_nm, $pwd, $ext_id, $bar_cd) = @_;
 
   do stuff;
   return(1);
}

The WSDL file, generated by Pod:WSDL, seems to point only to the package, foo. I don't see any mention in here of web_svc.pl. So far, we've been unable to get anything meaningful out of it for .net. I found some web pages that talk about tweaking the Pod::WSDL output as routine. Unfortunately, they don't give any specifics. The WSDL file looks like this:
