i'm using Frontier::Client to get back information from Advogato's XML-RPC interface and I'm having trouble with the methods that return an array. Here is a sample invocation of the test.guess method:

---- request ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>test.guess</methodName>
<params>
</params>
</methodCall>
---- response ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
  <params>
    <param>
      <array>
        <data>
          <value>
            <string>You guessed</string>
          </value>
          <value>
            <int>42</int>
          </value>
        </data>
      </array>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodResponse>

I try to access it from perl like this:

my $client = Frontier::Client->new(
  'url' => 'http://www.advogato.org/XMLRPC', use_objects => 1, 
  debug => 1,);
my ($string, $int) = $client->call('test.guess') or die "$!\n";

and get back the XML above plus:

wanted `value' or `name' tag, got `array' at line 5 column 6
[download]

and the variables don't get filled in. Is this a limitation in the module or did I do something wrong?

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
