soap::lite roadblock

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

I'm trying to use soap::lite for the first time, and using some of the basic tutorial client/server pairs, I cannot get anything working. server code:

#!perl -w

# -- SOAP::Lite -- guide.soaplite.com -- Copyright (C) 2001 Paul Kulch
+enko --

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
  -> dispatch_to(
                'cgi-bin/dev/soap/',
                'Soaper'
                )
  -> handle;

package Soaper;

sub hi {
  return "hello, world";
}

sub bye {
  return "goodbye, cruel world";
}

sub languages {
  return ("Perl", "C", "sh");
}

client code:

#!perl -w

# -- SOAP::Lite -- guide.soaplite.com -- Copyright (C) 2001 Paul Kulch
+enko --

use SOAP::Lite;

print SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://foo.example.com/Soaper')
  -> proxy('http://foo.example.com/cgi-bin/dev/soap/hibye.cgi')

  -> hi()
  -> result;

The server is an apache server on Solaris running perl 5.6.1. The client script is located in /opt/dncms/web/cgi-bin/dev/soap/hibye.cgi. Here's the apache error log entry I get when I run the client.

[Mon May 15 14:13:28 2006] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec 
+of /opt/dncms/web/cgi-bin/dev/soap/hibye.cgi failed
[Mon May 15 14:13:28 2006] [error] [client 130.42.71.204] Premature en
+d of script headers: /opt/dncms/web/cgi-bin/dev/soap/hibye.cgi

Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't found any information on the SOAP::Lite project site, web site, or in the author's book to address this. That leads me to think I might have a non module related problem. Thanks!

Update: t'mo nailed it. I made the mistake of taking the examples too literally. Using #!/usr/bin/perl -w allowed Apache to find the interpreter it needed. I didn't discover this in testing because, of course, perl is in my path. Thanks!

Or more specifically, you've started your script with `#!perl -w` but you say it's a Solaris (and not a Windows) box. You should probably have something like this instead: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w` [download] ...every application I have ever worked on is a glorified munger...	[reply] [d/l]

No such file or directory: exec of /opt/dncms/web/cgi-bin/dev/soap/hibye.cgi failed It appears that you are trying to call a script that does not exist. It might be in the wrong location. Try a simple test and get this CGI to run, `#!/usr/bin/perl print <<END Content-type: text/html Hello world END ;` [download] If you can get that to run that it is not a directory or file location issue. As for SOAP tutorials I found this tutorial was excellent.	[reply] [d/l]
