Re: SOAP::Lite

This is a review? This gives me virtually no useful information -- it's the opinion of an anonymous monk, without any backup in hard facts. Nothing about what's found lacking, why it's good for quick testing of web services, or why other languages might be better (not to mention that I don't really think of "module review" as the right place to do language considerations -- a particular module probably shouldn't be used to compare whole languages).

"the restriction posed by the Perl language": what restriction would this be?

I'm assuming the fact that Perl doesn't have method signatures from which the relevant wsdl can be generated automatically. It may be an inconvenience here, but I don't believe the word "restriction" makes sense.

Other than that, I completely agree with you that this post does not constitute a review.

I've used Pod::WSDL to generate WSDL quite successfully. Handles anyhing I could throw at it.

Method "signatures" only really help for number and types of arguments / return values. Outside that, you're stuck using executable documentation in *any* language.
