fall95_3 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All, I'm running tomcat with Axis and I have a webservise that returns a md5 hash. I hava a simple cgi script that uses SOAP::Lite and it works from the command line,but if I access it via the webserver url or using AJAX I get nothing. here is an example of my soap client: 
#!perl

  use SOAP::Lite;

  $soap_response = SOAP::Lite                                  
    -> uri('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo')                            
+                 
    -> proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi')
    -> getmd5hash("test");

  @res = $soap_response->paramsout;

  $res = $soap_response->result;                
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";        
  print "Result is $res, outparams are @res\n";

    Hi fall95_3

    I ran your code, after adding use strict and warnings, from the command line, and it did not print anything.
    So I initialized SOAP::Lite with trace enabled and I could that the call failed with the mesage: 
    Failed to locate method (getmd5hash) in class (Demo) at /home/soaplite
+/lib/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2195.

    This is the code I used. You can look at the SOAP messages by running it from the command line. 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use SOAP::Lite +trace=>qw{method trace debug};

my  $soap_response = SOAP::Lite
    -> uri('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo')
    -> proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi')
    -> getmd5hash("test");

my  @out = $soap_response->paramsout;

my  $res = $soap_response->result; 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";  
print "Result is $res, outparams are @out\n";
