Does anyone know how to call a .NET web service from PERL? I created a very basic .NET web service locally on my machine. The web service accepts a parameter and perfoms a conversion on the input value. I need to use a PERL script to call this web service and then have the web service return back to the PERL script the result. I know so far that I have to use SOAP::Lite, but I am not sure how to use it? I have read the soaplite.com website for information, but somewhat confusing to me as I am new to PERL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated or a code snippet to try. This is what I have tried so far below, but the only thing that happens is I get the message on the last line printed out to my command window: 
use SOAP::Lite;
print SOAP::Lite
    -> uri('http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx')
    -> proxy('http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx')
    -> ConvertTemperature(0)
    -> result;

print "test for soap call using SOAP::Lite";

The web service I have contains one exposed webmethod, ConvertTemperature, and it excepts a value and returns a result. Again, I am running this locally on my own machine. Thanks,
