∟Perl SOAP::Lite 0.710 - No WSDL 1.1/SOAP 1.2 Support

This section provides a tutorial example that shows WSDL 1.1 document with SOAP 1.2 binding is supported by Perl SOAP::Lite 0.710.

According the manual, Perl SOAP::Lite 0.710 seems to support SOAP 1.2. Two calls are needed on the client object:

   $client->soapversion('1.2');
   $client->envprefix('soap12');

Here is my test Perl program, GetExchangeRate_SOAP12_Client.pl:

#- GetExchangeRate_SOAP12_Client.pl
#- Copyright (c) 2009 by Dr. Herong Yang, herongyang.com
#- All rights reserved
#
   use SOAP::Lite +trace;

#- Loading the WSDL document
   my $client = SOAP::Lite->service(
      'file:///c:/herong/GetExchangeRate_WSDL_11_SOAP_12_RPC.wsdl');

#- Setting the client for SOAP 1.2 and readable format
   $client->soapversion('1.2');
   $client->envprefix('soap12');
   $client->readable('true');

#- Calling the RPC
   $result = $client->GetExchangeRate('USD', 'JPY', '2007-07-07');
   
#- Showing the result
   print "Exchange rate is: $result\n";

Here is the result of this test program:

C:\herong\wsdl_20080000\cod>GetExchangeRate_SOAP12_Client.pl
SOAP::Transport::new: ()
SOAP::Serializer::new: ()
...
Unrecognized method 'GetExchangeRate'. List of available method(s):
...

Too bad. SOAP::Lite 0.710 does not really support WSDL 1.1 with SOAP 1.2 binding.

The soapversion('1.2') method only works in non-WSDL mode, where Web service end points are specified directly.
