Although, as jepri points out, bikeNomad is a good answer the leap that he ( jepri ) makes from good to right is at best subjective and at worse premature.

It is very true that SOAP::Lite is a great implementation of SOAP but it may be premature if you haven't first researched SOAP itself.

Here is a list of URL's that may help:

• A Brief History of SOAP

  Don Box's excellent history of SOAP

• Everything XML-RPC

  This XMLRPC.ORG a great resource but read Dan's piece first to understand the SOAP - XML RPC relationship.

• SOAP v1.2 Working Draft

  THE SPEC. Remember this is a W3 Working Draft therefore it should be considered a moving target. The XML Protocol Working Group (WG), which is part of the XML Protocol Activity owns it and they are difficult to ignore

• ESR seems to like it

  Eric Raymond certainly voices my feelings on the whole subject of Remote Procedure Call interfaces and how SOAP/XML-RPC fit in.

Hope this helps.
