new to SOAP, no arrays??

Hi!

I am new to SOAP but am accomplished developer. I am preparing to use a
new product that uses the SOAP/XML API and am trying to use the
SOAP::Parser module but it will not accept the vendors input. I am
seeking advice as to how to use/augment the module for my purposes.

It appears I might have to write a handler for array type?? But the
vendor's reference is a little obscure. ANy help/advice would be greatly
appreciated.  thanks...

...
> cat soapit.pl
use SOAP::Parser;
use Data::Dumper;

my $parser = SOAP::Parser->new();

$parser->parsefile($ARGV[0]);

my $headers = $parser->get_headers();
my $body    = $parser->get_body();

$Data::Dumper::Purity = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Terse  = 1;
print " HEADER ***\n";
print Dumper $headers;
print " Body ***\n";
print Dumper $body
