Non-blocking SOAP::Lite access

I have a need for access to a web service via SOAP from within a POE-based
program.
I would like that access to be non-blocking, which leads me to think that
the SOAP::Lite service object needs to
be implemented from within a POE::Wheel::Run.

I've looked through CPAN and didn't really see an out of the box module for
such non-blocking SOAP requests
(I'm the SOAP client, not the server).

Are there any more efficient means to accomplish my goal or is
POE::Wheel::Run the right path to follow?
Thanks for any input you might have.
