Calling .Net web service using a PERL client.
 

I need to call a .Net web service that takes an array or object as a
parameter from a PERL client. I have been trying to use the PERL SOAP::Lite
package to do this without success. I can call one that takes a simple
type, such as int or string, but not an array or object. Please help!!! My
code that I have written to call the web service and the SOAP packets that
get sent and received are below. It seems like no matter what I do I cannot
get it to recognize the array that I pass. Please CC my email address with
any responses. My address is as follows with the $# removed:
J$#im.Fo$#wl$#er@E$#D$#S$#.c$#o$#m
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

use SOAP::Lite;

my @web;
@web[0] = '234234';
@web[1] = 'Test1';
@web[2] = '3454545';
@web[3] = 'Test2';

my $s = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('EDS.Galileo/')
-> proxy('http://testedsapps.weyer.com/Galileo/Galileo.asmx')
-> on_action(sub{sprintf '%s%s', @_ })
-> on_debug(sub{print@_}) ;
;
$result =
$s->UpdateIncident(SOAP::Data->name('TicketValues')->value(SOAP::Data->value
(\@web)));

unless ($result->fault) {
if (length ($result->result()) == 0)
{
print "result = ".$result->result()."\n";
}

} else {

print "error ".$result->faultstring."\n";


unless ($result->fault) {
if (length ($result->result()) == 0)
{
print "result = ".$result->result()."\n";
}

} else {

print "error ".$result->faultstring."\n";
}

RE: Calling .Net web service using a PERL client.
 

Hello,

I am not a expert on PERL. Here are some document I found so far, you may
take a look to see if they can help:

How to Call a .NET-based Web Service Using the SOAP::Lite Perl Library
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnsoap/html
/soapliteperl.asp

SOAP::Lite Client HOWTO
http://soapenv.org/article.pl?sid=02...29&mode=thread

Since this group focus on .NET web service, it may be hard to find one who
is familar with PERL client. I suggest you may also post this question on a
PERL related newsgroup to get more information.

This service
http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/ViewList...6-DD728CC865DE

includes a perl client that retrieves an array from a C# ASMX service.
