name: Keith Brown email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://www.develop.com/kbrown user-id: kbrown contribution: Several modules in a bundle to implement SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), an XML/HTTP wire protocol that was recently introduced. These modules allow Perl hashes (and eventually blessed object references) to be serialized into SOAP streams and sent over HTTP (or SMTP, or whatever transport folks get around to adding - I've got HTTP support right now). The parser relies on XML::Parser::Expat, and there is one module designed to interface very tightly with mod_perl (SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache). The SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client module depends on LWP. Name DSLI Description Info ------------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- Bundle::SOAP cmpO SOAP/Perl language mapping ?? There are currently 14 modules in the bundle (if you need one line descriptions for all 14 I can certainly provide them, please let me know - I'm a newbie to the CPAN contributor world :-). SOAP ::Defs.pm ::Dispatcher.pm ::Envelope.pm ::EnvelopeMaker.pm ::GenericInputStream.pm ::GenericHashSerializer.pm ::GenericScalarSerializer.pm ::OutputStream.pm ::Packager.pm ::Parser.pm ::TypeMapper.pm SOAP::Transport::HTTP ::Apache.pm ::Client.pm ::Server.pm Various versions of this code has been released, discussed, and used by lots of folks on the SOAP mailing list (there are about 725 folks subscribed as of today). To visit the mailing list, go to http://discuss.develop.com and ask for the SOAP list server. Please let me know how to proceed. CPAN is the logical place to distribute these bits, and I think lots of folks will find them useful. Hopefully others will contribute to their development as well (I've been the sole author so far, and I'd LOVE some help :-) Keith http://www.develop.com/kbrown
