shonorio has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear mongers, I got in trouble trying to help a friend of mime with a brazilian air company .NET webservices, because this work is hardest than I could imagine.

Trying to understand the complex wdsl available at http://200.185.23.93:8003/BWS/FlightInformation.asmx I wrote a C# code to access and debug the soap communication with TCPTrace basead on How to Call a .NET-based Web Service Using the SOAP::Lite Perl Library document that get the log bellow.

I couldn't figure out a way to serialize a soap envelope as like above, and now I'm asking to help with this webservices communication.

Re: Help with SOAP::Lite client acessing a air company .NET webservices

    You can find good examples Here for how to use Soap::Lite.

    I think the big difference between your C# code and the Perl implementation is that C# is auto encapsulating the data into XML for you. Soap::Lite is middle ware used to send the data to somewhere else. You will probably have to write some code to encapsulate the data yourself.

    You should also consider taking a look at XML::Simple or XML::Twig on how to generate a XML document. Or you can use a template if the document is simple enough.
