Yes there is. Basically, you are re-blessing the object returned by
SOAP::Lite::service into your package namespace, and I don't see a
subroutine named GetAll defined there. You should store the returned
object in a container (hash or array), which you bless into your package
namespace. But that only fixes the first part of your problem, you still
don't have a subroutine named GetAll. You can delegate subroutine calls
to your class using the AUTOLOAD feature, see at least 'perldoc perlobj'
and 'perldoc perltoot' for help with that.
However, do you really want to go to all that trouble when all you seem
to be doing is hiding the service URL and only calling
SOAP::Lite::service once? The following would seem to be a simpler way
for Soap.pm to accomplish that:
----------------------------------
use strict;
use warnings;
package Soap;
use SOAP::Lite;
our $service;
our $url = 'http://ws.cisa.ca/WehireWS/JobsWs.asmx?WSDL';
sub service {
$service = SOAP::Lite->service($url)
unless defined $service;
return $service;
}
1;
----------------------------------
Then all you need in Soap.pl is:
----------------------------------
use strict;
use warnings;
use Soap;
use Data::Dumper;
my $result = Soap::service->GetAll;
print Dumper($result);
----------------------------------
