I just don't understand why SOAP is treated so specially. SOAP have not added anything really new. You can roll your own RPC implementations using HTTP and CGIs, SMTP and scripts in /etc/aliases, etc. SOAP can be more convinient in some cases because it is standart and is supported in many languages. And developer who doesn't understand security implications of networking applications can open security holes both in CGI and in SOAP server.
I tend to agree that with SOAP::Lite it is too easy to make mistakes. But it is just fault of SOAP::Lite but not fault of SOAP protocol itself. Adding requirement to specify list of methods which can be remotly called could solve this problem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
