Hello InfiniteSilence ,

When I did my 'super searches', I didn't find your example.

The web service already exists and I need the client side (Perl) to ask the question and then accept the response. I don't have a clue what the WSDL file is and hope that it is already defined on the web server. My web service is totally independent, but I'm required to verify if the 'person' is already a client. Part of the XML response is a client ID that I need to use if they already exist in the service.

By answering the comments, I'm starting to understand this a little more :-)

Thank you...Ed

WSDL file is...

WSDL can be stored in a file or be the XML response to a query, so the response from your initial request (the one with WSDL in it) should return WSDL content. If your client understands WSDL it should be able to extract the service information from it and allow you to call that service based purely on the definition specified in the WSDL. Otherwise your client would have to know some things about the specific web service like which address to use, etc.
