I am a newbie to perl and trying to figure out what is better to use.

I have seen three suggestions

Soap::lite seems to have been around longer, but seems to be difficult to use with more complex wsdl and services. I will be calling a service that adds a document (bytes) with a lot of metadata.

I had looked at some other sites for help and in one of the site some one had mentioned that xml::compile is dead.

Which is the better package to use to call soap webservice. I am not able to figure out which module/package is continuously supported and developed.
