SOAP:Lite is causing me nightmares. What I want to do is catch both message erros and network errors while sending a soap message. I have successfully achieve the former by making my soap connection as follows: 
$soap = SOAP::Lite
            -> uri($config{'uri'}) 
            -> on_action(sub {sprintf '"%s%s"', @_})
            -> proxy("http://$proxy_to_use/LoadIntraday/LoadIntraDayDa
+ta.asmx")
            -> on_fault( sub {} );

However I am not sucessfully able to trap Network transmission errors. By this I mean when the receiving server craps out halfway while receiving my message, its casusing my program to crash too. I simply want to catch this error and report it instead of exiting the program. I have tried using the eval block but have not succeeded. This is my current non working code 

 eval {
    my $elem = SOAP::Data->name('strFile')->value($soapdata)->type('st
+ring');
    
    $result = $soap->call(SOAP::Data->name('LoadIntraDaySwap')->attr({
+xmlns => 'https://www.primebroker.com/'}) => $elem );
            
};

# if eval reported an error
if ($@) {    
        #send out a email
} else {
      # so no network error but there could be message errors

      if ($soap->transport->status =~ /Error/){
           print $result->faultcode
      }else {
             print "Success"
       }
}
