Re^3: SOAP and .NET

I've managed to get some debugging information, but it leaves me no closer to a solution:

mismatched tag at line 61, column 16, byte 2902:
<p>
</ul>
====^
</span>
at C:/usr/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

Of course looking at the Parser module sheds no light on where / how that HTML code is being generated. Line #187:

$result = $expat->parse($arg);

I'm spiralling further away from a solution here and could really use some help.

My code

use SOAP::WSDL +trace => qw(dispatch);
my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new(wsdl => 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx/somedoc.asmx');
+ # edited
$soap -> wsdlinit();
$soap -> servicename('Web Mechanic');
my $transport = $soap -> call('Insert' => (
Firstname => $FirstName )); # previously defined

That's SOAP::Lite silliness. Call the methods exposed by the remote service instead. -David	[reply] [d/l]

Please understand - I know very little about SOAP and WSDL in general, and reading the documentation for SOAP::WSDL is like trying to learn English by reading a dictionary. Yes, it defines certain things, but what I really need is some indication as to when, why, and where I would use them to perform my task at hand. Maybe I'm asking too much here. I'm reading as much as I can about all this. I'm using 'call' because that is what several examples use in the SOAP::WSDL docs. As for the error message, I'm only showing you what my log file has in it.	[reply]
