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

I have a simple SOAP::Lite call that work with: CrossCheck's SOAPSonar

But PERL fails to bundle the parameter: Qualifier. (Partially may be due to an older XML version needs to be used due to limitation with the server application - BMC Remedy.)

Any ideas on the disconnect? For example the PERL code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;
# Create a SOAP handle to handle web service transactions with Remedy
my $wsdl = 'http://SERVER/arsys/WSDL/HD_Netcool_v1';
my $soapHndl = SOAP::Lite->new()->service($wsdl)->readable(1);
# Force schema type to be XMLSchema2001
my $xmlschema2001 = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
$soapHndl->xmlschema($xmlschema2001);
# Define tags to be nested within the <AuthenticationInfo> tag
my @authObj = (SOAP::Header->name('userName')->value('user'),
               SOAP::Header->name('password')->value('password')
              );
my $qualification = "\'ucn\' LIKE \'test%\'";
my @queryObj = (SOAP::Data->name('Qualification')->value($qualificatio
+n),
                SOAP::Data->name('startRecord')->value('0'),
                SOAP::Data->name('maxLimit')->value('10'),
SOAP::Header->name('AuthenticationInfo')->value(\SOAP::Header->value(@
+authObj))
               );
my @RemedyList = $soapHndl->OpGetList(@queryObj);
my $numElements = @RemedyList;
print Dumper(@RemedyList);

    After a bit of digging I found this is the wrong approach. Soap::Lite doesn't really handle accessing the wsdl directly. Instead using stubmaker.pl and accessing the methods along the lines of http://cookbook.soaplite.com/#making soap works much better.
