jdtoronto has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

At a quick first read it seemed that a SOAP clent/server pair would be a good way to get some database records from a remote server. But I find that only the very simples examples in the SOAP::Lite documentation will work.

Can anyone point me to a usable tutorial on SOAP::Lite? Well, at least one where the examples work. Any workable alternative suggestions would be welcome also.

    Also consider that if you don't have a compelling reason to use SOAP then XML-RPC (and RPC::XML; although I believe SOAP::Lite does provide XML-RPC support as well) might be a better way to go. The protocol's simpler and may be easier to get your head around it.
