in reply to The sad state of SOAP and Perl

SOAP::Lite is now a Sourceforge Project, for better or for worse, so you might consider working with the projects maintainers to improve support of the things that you find important.

For what it's worth, (and just to reinforce what others have said, ) doing automatically generated WSDL for services written in a dynamic language such as Perl is always going to be a problem as there is no way to know for sure either the parameters or the return types of a method in advance (without some kind of annotation such as POD or attributes), so yes most people seem to create the WSDL by hand or with tools such as the free Cape Clear WSDL editor.

    Perhaps this would be a project better suited for Perl6?

    Stronger typing and some level of abstraction would allow for automatic discovery of return types, parameters, etc.
      Maybe, but Perl5 still needs SOAP support, and asides from money, theres no obstacles.
