I have a somewhat strange request, but one which I am sure other developers have faced before and as such, having spent some time searching through http://search.cpan.org to no avail, I now turn to the monastery ...

In reading through the functional specifications for a new mod_perl/SOAP::Lite project, there is a requirement detailed for all SOAP requests and responses (message headers and body data inclusively) to be logged - While I do not expect this element of functionality to be maintained as the project is shifted into the production environment, it is nonetheless an element of functionality which will need to be implemented to meet the project requirements and pass acceptance testing. To this end, I am looking to see there is an existing Apache/mod_perl module (1.33/1.29_01) for the logging of complete requests and responses made of a server (and avoid re-inventing another wheel, particularly given the exceptionally tight timeframes associated with this project).

Are there any proven wheels which I should be investigating the use of?

Update: Doh! Isn't it always the way - you post and *then* find a node answering your question! This node and the associated link gives me something to work from. Any and all other pointers would however be welcomed.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
