Yes, to the glory of the Perl community, we probably have the simplest answer you could want: It's called SOAP::Lite (but is nowehere near lite): http://www.soaplite.com/ An example: mod_soap enabled SOAP server: .htaccess SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::SOAP PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name" That's an example. Some may call web services hype, I don't really know, but atleast this will get you going. Stable enough? you'll have to ask someone else, but I think it should work well enough. -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
