I was using SOAP::WSDL as it reached v2.0 (ca. 2007). It features a complete wrapping of XML Schema data types, from which a Perl wrapper (accessors etc) can be generated, although you have to live with that minimalism (e.g. all arrays + containers - no mappings). Just wonder if the XML Schema wrapping could be extracted for use with RESTful APIs which have well-defined schemas (I guess I may have just volunteered) Ash > > Sam > -- > Website: http://www.illuminated.co.uk/ > >
