Soap Questions (dynamic server, objects)

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

Hi All.
I was attempting to do a dynamic soap call, eg.

my $uri = "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/server.pl";
my $proxy = "http://127.0.0.1/myfn";
my $soapresponse = SOAP::Lite uri->'$uri' proxy->'$proxy' -> go($doThi
+s) ->result;
[download]

but I get the response unable to determine protocol.

Also, is there a way that I could create just one soap object and keep requesting from it, eg:

$soapobject = SOAP::lite (some server, some proxy)
$soapr1 = $soapobject->fn(1);
$soapr2 = $soapobject->fn2(2);
[download]

Thanks. This is for some recreational programming I'm working on.

The SOAP::Lite Guide suggests the following syntax will create an object on which you can call remote methods: `my $soapobj = SOAP::Lite->uri($uri)->proxy($proxy); my @results = ($soapobj->fn(1), $soapobj->fn2(2));` [download] In your first example above, I suspect the single quotes are ruining your fun. Perhaps something like this would work better: `my $soapresponse = SOAP::Lite->uri->($uri) ->proxy($proxy) ->go($doThis) ->result();` [download] I'm not sure how the parser interprets the syntax without parenthesis, but I know the single quotes prevent variable interpolation, which is at least half the battle.

(Stupidity) was the problem. I didn't match my parenthesis correctly... (sigh). I will (attempt) to release the code I was working on later. ---- Zak	[reply]
