Hello Randy,
Though I've not gotten it up yet, thanks for coming up with Apache2::SOAP!
The link you gave
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=soaplite-dev) seems
to be either mispelled or outdated. Sorry. Got a new one?
I thought it would make sense to have Apache2::SOAP on its own, though I
am sure you had good reason to bundle it with Search::Lite. If you will
make it run on its own, I will be more than happy to try it out for you.
The easiest way so far seems to be just writing a very short
handler-wrapper to the SOAP::HTTP::Transport::CGI module, which seems to
work out just fine, though I wouldn't know how each method compares in
terms of speed. I think the biggest bottleneck though will be all that
xml parsing!

Hi guys,
I'm not exactly new to modperl, but I'm thinking of having
Apache/mp2 host soap services rather than start up the
daemon via the command line.
The latest ActivePerl comes only with Apache::SOAP. I
think this is not the right one for MP2. A search on CPAN
shows a Apache2::SOAP, which I want to use.
I use ActivePerl (on Windows), and it seems that I can't
do a 'ppm install apache2-soap'; it's not on their library
list. Other than downloading the tar.gz file and unpacking
it into the perl/site/lib/ folder on my own, is there a
cleaner way to do it?
I've submitted to the soaplite-dev mailing list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=soaplite-dev
a patch to SOAP::Lite to provide (current) mod_perl-2
support, but I haven't heard back about it. You could
either apply this patch, or you can grab Apache2::SOAP
(and SOAP::Transport::HTTP2) from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cpan-search/CPAN-Search-Lite/lib/
and install them under your $PERL\site\lib. Use of
Apache2::SOAP is the same as Apache::SOAP.
If there was interest, I could bundle up Apache2::SOAP and
make it available as a separate distribution.
