Hi guys. I'm trying to error trap my Soap interface so that it can handle when the client's server goes up/down and their soap service itself goes up/down.
I'm running this as my soap call:
    my $service = SOAP::Lite
      -> service('http://server/function.asmx?WSDL');

When the above code errors out because the client's soap interface is down, it dies with:
Service description 'http://server/function.asmx?WSDL' can't be loaded
+: 404 Not Found

[download]
And it stops my loop entirely. I've got the above inside a function call, that gets called by a neverending loop. But when that error happens, the whole thing stops. I'm trying to figure out how I can trap that error, so that I can keep it from stopping the whole thing. Just getting a -1 or a function call would be nice, but haven't figured out how to set it up so that I can put in something like service || &soapGetBad();

Thanks!!
