Soap and Perl ahhh! 1

[GrahamBright]

Hi,

I'm tryinig to install Soap to write a couple of sample application using perl 4.0 for HPUX.

I've downloaded Soap::Lite from

http://www.soaplite.com

but when I try to install this module I get back the following warnings : -

perl Makefile.PL
>> performs some checks and exists with


Warning: prerequisite HTTP:aemon 0 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Warning: prerequisite LWP::UserAgent 0 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Warning: prerequisite MIME::Lite 0 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Warning: prerequisite MIME:arser 5.22 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Warning: prerequisite URI 0 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Warning: prerequisite XML:arser 2.23 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Writing Makefile for SOAP::Lite
Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at (eval 1) line 625.

Q. Is there a general package available for Perl 4.0 which contains all dependences

Q. I'd like to write a sample application for Multimedia Messaging using the Soap Schema defined by 3GPP23.140. Has anyone any knowledge or experience with writing similar applications.

Thanks in advance,

Graham.

If you use CPAN then all the dependancies will satsify themselves.

perl -MCPAN -e shell

then configure it and then type

install Soap::Lite

I usually do not use this interface since you loose version control but its quick and dirty to get the job done. Or you can just download each module and install it.

I've used SOAP extensively. Its not so bad once you get used to it, we did have some serious problems reverse engineering microsoft's authentication schema but it worked out in the end.

Thanks Siberian.

I was able to install Soap::Lite using the -MCPAN flag. I was also successful in getting the following example to work :-

I'm interested in writing a perl application to connect to an MMSC and to act as a value added service. Is it right to persume that the Schema resides on the server (MMSC) in which case I can make service calls like hi(); method below.

#!perl -w

use SOAP::Lite;

print SOAP::Lite
-> uri('

http://www.soaplite.com/Demo')

-> proxy('

http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi')

-> hi();
-> result;
