Paul, you have left out some key items on what you are trying to accomplish.

At my current day job, we used SOAP with SOAP::Lite pretty extensively. What we 
found though was that if perl was the consumer of the SOAP interface, 
everything was very loose on complaining about standards. But as we had some 
PHP apps trying to consume our perl SOAP interfaces, well it would fail if we 
hadn't put a proper WSDL in place. We had a module that let us write perldoc 
style documentation that was translated to WSDL for us. That solved part of the 
problem.

What we noticed was that if the WSDL we created differed from what was sent, 
the PHP library on the other side would try and coerce the value into the type 
that it expected. Rarely was it what we wanted.

I'll attach here a app we used that was for testing output of our services 
layer using Soap::Lite.
