Consume .net web services in Perl

[pchaw]

I try to develop a demo, which client in Perl will try to call the web services I wrote in C#. I've no knowledge in Perl, but as I refer to online forum, I try to follow their example but return no result.


I've installed ActivePerl in my Win XP and tested my perl with the code below and it's successful.

 
#!/bin/perl -w
 
  use SOAP::Lite;
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
  print SOAP::Lite
 
    -> uri('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo')
    -> proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi')
    -> hi()   
    -> result;
 
 

But when try to test with .net web service with the code below, it returns blank page.

 
#!/bin/perl -w
use SOAP::Lite;
 
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
 
    -> uri('http://mydomain')
    -> on_action( sub { join '/', 'http://mydomain', $_[1] } )
    -> proxy('http://mydomain/Example1/Service1.asmx');
 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
print $soap->HelloWorld()->result;
 
 

Did I miss out any steps? What is the steps to consume web services in .net from Perl?

Anyway we can trace the transaction when it return just a blank page?
How can we know the error or exception?

I do not have any experience when it comes to SOAP. If someone else here is not able to help you, then I would suggest that post a question on SOAP::Lite for Perl mailing list.
