Conclusions:

• SOAP (Simple Object Accessing Protocol) is a client-server communication protocol to access remote objects.
• SOAP::Lite is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) both on client and server side.
• You can use the SOAP::Transport::TCP module to create a SOAP server program over the TCP protocol.
• You can use the SOAP::Transport::HTTP module to create a SOAP server program over the HTTP protocol.
• You can use uri() and proxy() methods of the SOAP::Lite module to access a remote service through a SOAP proxy server.
• The SOAP::Lite tracing function is very useful for debugging.
