The robust way involves getting Apache involved so that you've got something that starts the services 'on demand,' as well as a connection pool manager. Perl's weaker on the WSDL side of things, as that is something typically autogenerated by a language compiler, whilst Perl is pretty dynamic and way too weakly typed; if you want WSDL, Java is probably the way to go... Contrary to how it gets billed, this is pretty heavyweight stuff, because you have a pretty thick layer of XML encoding on top of the data. -- "cbbrowne","@","acm.org" http://linuxfinances.info/info/soap.html "What I find most amusing about com and .NET is that they are trying to solve a problem I only had when programming using MS tools." -- Max M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (on comp.lang.python) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
