Cool. More and more people are discovering the only real reason to use SOAP: SOAP::Lite .

I used it both server-side (Windows NT) and client-side (Solaris).Was he using server side or client side SOAP::Lite?I used SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI.Was he using SOAP::HTTP::Daemon or an apache frontend?I needed to write a CGI script that integrated data from an Informix database on a Solaris box with data from a SQL Server database on an NT box. I first tried to serve the script on the NT box and connect to Informix remotely with DBD::Informix. We ran into a lot of problems installing DBD::Informix on NT and time was a critical issue.
Since I had used the SOAP::Lite distribution on another project (PGAS), I thought it could be a good solution here. Since SOAP::Lite comes standard with ActivePerl (installed on the NT box), we only needed to install the module on the Solaris box. A few lines of code later and we were up and running with the CGI being served on the Solaris box, making SOAP calls to a CGI-based SOAP server on the NT box.
If you want more details, let me know.
