Have you looked at SOAP::Lite and the rest of the SOAP:: hierarchy on CPAN?
They may not be of direct help if you've already got a home-grown XML transport
protocol, but it might give you some good ideas. And, it may save you lots of
time in the long run if you can convert your home-grown XML system to use the
SOAP standard.
BTW, has anyone played with these SOAP modules much? Specifically, are they
well-written / optimized for mod_perl?
