Hi. I was playing with this stuff yesterday, so here are some points from someone who's new to this stuff First off, there's an example in the mod_perl cookbook. See chapter 15, secion 15.16 "Creating a SOAP server". In particular, the listing you might want to take a look at is the example of a script that calls thier soap server server. http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch15/HalfLife-QueryServer-0.10/eg/querysoap.pl Secondly, have a look at Leon Brocard's stuff at http://www.astray.com/services/ This is a further example of using SOAP - this time to call a infobot. Basically what you want to do from your client is #!/usr/bin/perl use SOAP::Lite +autodispatch => uri => 'Some unique uri to identify your request', proxy => 'The url that is in your Location in httpd.conf'; my $object = NameOfMySOAPedModule->new(); $object->a_method(); $object->an_other_method(); > MORE Importantly. how should I make sure the handler is invoked. I think > it is not being invoked. I have also copied the package in the perls > @INC path "/..../site_perl". The package has a handler function that > should be invoked. Try GETing the url. Assuming you have LWP installed: [mark@pate mark]$ GET http://2shortplanks.com/mod_soap <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>An Error Occurred</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <H1>An Error Occurred</h1> 405 Method Not Allowed </BODY> </HTML> For a simple GET if the handler is being called you should get the 405 (as you didn't issue a proper soap request.) -- s'' Mark Fowler London.pm Bath.pm http://www.twoshortplanks.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ';use Term'Cap;$t=Tgetent Term'Cap{};print$t->Tputs(cl);for$w(split/ +/ ){for(0..30){$|=print$t->Tgoto(cm,$_,$y)." $w";select$k,$k,$k,.03}$y+=2}
