Re^2: SOAP::Lite issues... stumped

Grrrr! Yes this always struck me as something of a bug in SOAP::Lite that the 'helper' modules are in the top-level SOAP:: namespace, whereas, in my opinion, they should be in SOAP::Lite::. Of course it is possibly too late to change this. Conversely, because of the design of SOAP::Lite, I don't think it would be possible to use the existing SOAP components wherever there might be an overlap.

However someone should probably file a bug on SOAP::Lite about this conflict before it is too late to change.

However someone should probably file a bug on SOAP::Lite about this conflict before it is too late to change. I was bitten by this the other day, and tried to advise all concerned. The only response I received was from Andreas Koenig (PAUSE maintainer), who agreed that the namespace was owned by first-comer SOAP, and that the SOAP::Lite community had responsibility for fixing it. I also found two reports of the same problem on http://rt.cpan.org (currently down?), in 2005 and (IIRC) 2003. Hugo	[reply]

I think that they use the sourceforge tracker rather than RT but I could be wrong. /J\	[reply]

excellent info. I mistakenly thought that SOAP::Lite was derived from the original SOAP modules. I never would have tried removing SOAP and using only SOAP::Lite. My issue is resolved. Thanks, monks!	[reply]
