Hi,

THis is my 1st attempt at dealing with WSDL and perl. I am learning how to create a SOAP client in perl.

Here is the method I run in soapUI: 

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xm
+lns:soap1="http://www.surgient.com/50/VcsApi/SoapAdapter">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <soap1:Login>
         <soap1:organizationId>1</soap1:organizationId>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <soap1:userName>my_username</soap1:userName>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <soap1:password>my_password</soap1:password>
      </soap1:Login>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and here is the responce I get in soapUI 

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xm
+lns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http:/
+/www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
      <LoginResponse xmlns="http://www.surgient.com/50/VcsApi/SoapAdap
+ter">
         <LoginResult>
            <SessionId>3144920</SessionId>
            <AccountId>2</AccountId>
            <OrganizationId>1</OrganizationId>
            <Token>fsTTTxUZml7QY/mu3TCkKqzrBbQ=</Token>
         </LoginResult>
      </LoginResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

You can see that I am able to get the "session ID" and "Token" from above output in soapUI.

Now I want to retrieve the same information using perl. so this is hte code I have written: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
            -> uri ('http://my_website/Services/SoapAdapter.asmx?WSDL'
+)
            -> proxy ('http://my_website/Services/SoapAdapter.asmx?WSD
+L');

my $something = $soap->Login (1, 'my_username', 'my_password');

print $something;

and perl script gives me only "1" as the output irrespective of whether I pass correct password or wrong. so This makes me feel that my script is not really getting through the authentication.

Could you tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks
