In my work going through the SOAP::Lite code base fixing bugs and what not, I ran across an old email thread on the newsgroup asking about a fault that their client kept receiving from a SOAP Server written in Perl:
Failed to access class (Majordojo:TemperatureService):
syntax error at (eval 123) line 1, near "require Majordojo:"
The root of the problem stems from the fact that the SOAP Action header, and/or the namespace of the method being invoked uses a URI format that confuses SOAP::Lite. In this case the URI is urn:Majordojo:TemperatureService. SOAP::Lite is not crazy about this format because when it tries to import the module Majordojo:TemperatureService it fails because it is not a valid module name. The call was failing because the server written in Perl was using SOAP::Lite default dispatch methodology, or the simplistic dispatch-to() subroutine.
