Interestingly, this anon "troll" noticed that you used to have the signature saying something like "XML sucks, but SOAP rocks", now that sig is gone, and you seemed to have some issue with SOAP. It would be useful, if you can point out couple of things here what you don't like about SOAP.

p.s. Although part of the issue with SOAP::Lite could be blamed on SOAP, but not everything.
