Thanks for the advice. WebService::Mappoint is indeed more descriptive. I will change the name and will upload again.

I think WebService::Mappoint would be the current recommended name for modules providing an interface to web services. (Net::Google and Net::Amazon predate the Webservice namespace.)

rationale:
Mappoint .NET is a MIcrosoft web service that provides a SOAP API for creating maps and other geography related functions, such as geocoding (obtaining latitude and longitude for a street address).
Microsoft provides a WSDL file which describes the service and is used by SOAP client libraries to expose its API to programs. SOAP::Lite does not support WSDL to the extent needed by Mappoint, thus the need for this module.
Net::Mappoint provides a perl mapping of the complete Mappoint API. It automatically encodes the required SOAP requests for each call in the API, and presents Mappoint responses as nested data structures that are easy to access.
We chose the Net::Mappoint name because of the precedent set by Net::Google and Net::Amazon, which provide similar APIs for Google and Amazon web services.
