Thank you for your detailed response. I was able to get SOAP::Lite 0.69 installed properly whereas i am running SOAP::WSDL 1.23 because there wasnt any connectivity issue with trouchelle.com it still gives me the same error as before.

I read through the resource links you provided and they were quite helpful and i was able to get my earlier error fixed so at least now i can call a simple method exposed through my service with only one string argument. This verifies that my WSDL is correctly generated.

Now when i run the test script you gave me earlier where i try to pass a Tester object that doesnt seem to work properly. I get the following output:

C:\SoapTest>perl perlMonk.pl 3519
Reference found where even-sized list expected at C:/Perl/site/lib/SOA
+P/WSDL.pm
line 235.
$VAR1 = 'NULL test';

Now here the script i use:

use SOAP::WSDL;
  use Data::Dumper;
  use strict;

  my $proxy = "http://localhost:" . $ARGV[0] . "/";
  my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new();
  $soap->wsdl('http://localhost:8000/');
  $soap->proxy($proxy);
  #$soap->on_action(sub { return $_[0].$_[1]; });      $soap->wsdlinit
+(caching => 1);

  my $som = $soap->SampleTest({ Name => 'Nathan', Age => 22});
  if ($som->fault) 
  {
    print "SampleTest Error: ".$som->faultstring."\n";
  } 
  else 
  {
    print Dumper($som->paramsall);
  }

My implemtation for the method is:

public string SampleTest(Tester test)
        {
            if (test == null)
            {
                return String.Format("NULL test");
            }
            else if (test.Age == 22)
            {
                return String.Format("SUCCESS test");
            }
            else
            {
                return String.Format("FAILURE test");
            }
        }

And the Tester class implementation is:

[DataContract]
    public class Tester
    {
        private string name;
        private int age;

        public Tester(string n, int a)
        {
            name = n;
            age = a;
        }

        [DataMember(IsRequired = true)]
        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return name;
            }
            set
            {
                name = value;
            }
        }

        [DataMember(IsRequired = true)]
        public int Age
        {
            get
            {
                return age;
            }
            set
            {
                age = value;
            }
        }
    }

I can see two things going wrong either the SOAP::WSDL doesnt send the object properly or SOAP::WSDL cant handle some of the WCF generated WSDL contructs more specifically relating to the Tester class implementation because i was able to get SOAP::WSDL to work with the following simple web service method:

public string HelloWorld(string name)
        {
            return String.Format("Hello {0}!!!", name);
        }

I will continue playing around but do you have any suggestions?
