-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've continued to work on this, but have been unable to progress past this point. mod_perl seems to work just fine on both systems, except when it comes to SOAP, in which case I'm getting exactly the same errors on both systems. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong, but danged if I can spot it. While I'm familiar with Perl, I am less familiar with SOAP and mod_perl. I've doublechecked the httpd.conf entries and I believe they are correct. The Demo.pm file is too simple to have an error (famous last words), so now I've concerntrating on the client code, which is the part I understand the least.
In particular, I'm confused about the value passed to uri(). I'm using "http://<my server>/Demo", where Demo is the name of the module I want to call, and Demo.pm is in the PATH. That, and "http://localhost/Demo"; both work in my CGI-based SOAP experiments, but neither works with mod_perl. Is this an area where mod_perl and CGI differ? Thanks for any clues anyone can provide.
