The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I make a complicated SOAP request from perl?

Asked by StevenMiles in Perl Programming Language, SOAP

Tags:

HI,
I have used SOAP::Lite in the past to make a trivial call from perl, but now I need to send much more information in with the SOAP request, and I can't figure it out.

I'm planning to use Authorize.net to handle subscription transactions for a Web site, and here's an example of the Body of a SOAP call that I would have to make:
<soap:Body>
       <ARBUpdateSubscription xmlns="https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/">
              <merchantAuthentication>
                     <name>API Login ID here</name>
                     <transactionKey>Transaction Key here</transactionKey>
              </merchantAuthentication>
              <subscriptionId>141414</subscriptionId>
              <subscription>
                     <name>subscription information</name>
                     <paymentSchedule>
                            <interval>
                                   <length>30</length>
                                   <unit>days</unit>
                            </interval>
                            <startDate>2007-12-01</startDate>
                            <totalOccurrences>26</totalOccurrences>
                     </paymentSchedule>
              </subscription>
       </ARBUpdateSubscription>
</soap:Body>
... and that's by far not the most complicated call to SOAP that I would need.
I've looked all over and read manuals, but I can't figure out how to translate this into a form that SOAP::Lite will use.  Is there another technique, or different SOAP module, that I should use for submitting this information, one that wouldn't require that I mangle the format of the information above, or a straightforward way to translate that into SOAP::Lite?
Note that I'm not looking for a SOAP::Lite translation of that exact call described above -- rather I'm looking to learn how to translate calls that complicated into a SOAP::Lite call, or looking for another way to submit that call with the code unchanged.
