Hi, I really don't think Mason was intended to perform such functions, and trying to out-smart Mason might cause you some grief, and probably some unnknown behavior, but I could be wrong ...
If you must use Mason, you should probably extend it yourself (http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/Subclassing.html), to have a layer of abstraction around the $r->content() part of the incoming request. But my best recommendation would be to have a dedicated set of URI's or <Location(s)> that are used to receive SOAP client requests, and create your own handler that will utilize something like SOAP::Lite to handle these.

The only issue that seems to be a problem is the following: SOAP requests are HTTP POST requests whose "body" is XML instead of some_param=some_value. Reading Mason's documentation makes me think there might be no way to access this XML-style content of the HTTP POST request. See the "common traps" section : http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/Devel.html#common_traps "Mason calls $r->content itself to read request input, emptying the input buffer and leaving a trap for the unwary: subsequent calls to $r->content hang the server. This is a mod_perl ``feature'' that may be fixed in an upcoming release." Well, if Mason tries to parse the content as param=value nomatter what and then empties this content, it seems the XML will disappear. But if somehow there's a way to prevent Mason from doing that, or if the XML is stored somewhere else, maybe there is a solution. Any hints?
