I am working with mod_soap and can't seem to find out how to get my client to communicate. The docs explain how to configure Apache, but do not specify any examples of how the client accesses a 'SOAPed' module.

Here is my http.conf info: 

<Location /mod_soap>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::SOAP
    PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/usr/local/apache/lib/soap"
</Location>

Here is the module i am trying to access (/usr/local/apache/lib/soap/Demo.pm): 
package Demo;

sub foo { return "foo\n" }
sub bar { return "bar\n" }

1;

[download]
And finally, the client: 
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite 
   ->uri('http://localhost/Demo')
   ->proxy('http://localhost/mod_soap/')
;

print $soap->foo()->result();

When i run the client (webserver is active), i get the following error: 
500 unexpected EOF before status line seen

And this line is reported in the web server error log: 
[notice] child pid 18225 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Any help is greatly apprectiated - it might be time for me to break out the packet sniffer . . . .

Thanks,
jeffa
