SOAP::Lite and call behaviour

[DreamT]

Hi, I'm using SOAP::Lite for setting up a soap client:

        my $service_status = 1;

    my $client = SOAP::Lite
                        -> uri( $URI )
                        -> on_action(sub{ qq($on_action) })
                        -> on_fault(sub { $service_status = 0 })
                        -> envprefix('soapenv')
                        -> autotype(0)
                        -> proxy( $Proxy );

    my $method = SOAP::Data->name($method);

    my $header = SOAP::Header->type('data'=>SOAP::Data->type('xml' => 
+'')); 

    my $body = _arrayref_to_soap($body);

    my $result;

    eval 
    { 
        $result = $client->call($method,$header,@$body);
    };

    if ( $@ )
       {
                # error handling
       }

       if ( !$service_status )
       {
              # error handling
       }

This works great when the call is successful, the problem is when the web service is responding with an error (for example, when I use the wrong namespace). In that case, $result remains empty, $@ doesn't get set, and $service_status doesn't get set to 0.
This means that I can't collect the error from the web service. Of course, I can evaluate if $result is empty to find out what's wrong, but that doesn't seem correct.

Any ideas? Am I using on_fault the wrong way?

Thks is what docs show

my $som = $soap->call('sayHello', 'Kutter', 'Martin');
 die $som->faultstring if ($som->fault);
